95 Divided by What Equals 72?MethodsSetting up the problem:In a problem like this, the “what” means that we’re working with a variable. The most common variable used in math is “x”. So we could say what number, x can we divide 95 by to equal 72?Solving 95 Divided by What Equals 72Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:95x=72\frac{95}{x} = 72x95=72The goal of the problem is to solve for x. To do this we need to change the equation so that x is alone on one side of the equation.In this case, it can be done in two steps. The first step is to multiply both sides by x to isolate 95:95=72∗x95 = 72*x95=72∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 72:9572=x\frac{95}{72} = x7295=xWhen we simplify the new equation, we can solve for x. In this example, we will round to the nearest three decimal places if that’s needed.x=1.319x = 1.319x=1.319Practice Other Division Problems Like This OneIf this problem was a little difficult or you want to practice your skills on another one, give it a go on any one of these too!What divided by 22 equals 84?71 divided by what equals 91?What is 15/16 divided by 36?What is 10/14 divided by 7/11?What is 16 divided by 12/1?
