58 Divided by What Equals 51?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 58 by to equal 51?Solving 58 Divided by What Equals 51Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:58x=51\frac{58}{x} = 51x58=51The 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 58:58=51∗x58 = 51*x58=51∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 51:5851=x\frac{58}{51} = x5158=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=1.137x = 1.137x=1.137Practice 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 3 equals 29?86 divided by what equals 94?What is 7/6 divided by 5?What is 1/13 divided by 14/9?What is 65 divided by 17/4?
