What Divided by 8 Equals 94?
Methods
Setting 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, when divided by 8, equals 94?
Solving What Divided by 8 Equals 94
Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:
x
8
=
94
\frac{x}{8} = 94
8 x = 94
The 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, we can do that by multiplying both sides of the equation by 8, resulting in this equation:
x
=
94
∗
8
x = 94*8
x = 94 ∗ 8
Then we simplify and find our answer:
x
=
752
x = 752
x = 752
So, the answer to the question “What divided by 8 equals 94?” is 752.To prove this, we can take the original problem:
x
8
=
94
\frac{x}{8} = 94
8 x = 94
And insert 752 in the place of x:
752
8
=
94
\frac{752}{8} = 94
8 752 = 94
Because this is true, the answer must be correct.
