Accepted Solution
To solve a problem posed as 'What divided by A equals B?', we are essentially taking an unknown variable (usually represented as 'x') and finding its value. The original question can be represented by the equation, x/A = B
or in the case of our specific problem, x/68 = 80
.
Mathematically, to isolate 'x', we transpose '68' by multiplication on both sides of equation. This yields the equation, x = 80*68
. We then calculate the product on the right side of equation, which gives the solution for 'x'.
The final equation for this problem turns out to be x = 5440
. To verify our solution, we substitute 'x' with '5440' in our original equation. Once substituted, both sides of equation should evaluate to the same number, thereby confirming our solution. By following the methodology outlined above, similar problems can be solved as well.
