To calculate the value of a variable x when given a division equation of the form '68 divided by x equals 25', you start by turning that question into an equation: 68 / x = 25. The next step is isolating x on its own side of the equation.
68 / x = 25
Multiply both sides by x to isolate 68:
68 = 25*x
Then isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 25:
68 / 25 = x
When you simplify that, you solve for x, rounding to the nearest three decimal places if necessary: x = 2.720. You can use the same principles to solve these similar problems:
Start by identifying the missing variable, convert the question into an equation, and then solve for the variable. This will help improve your understanding of how to solve division problems with a missing variable.
