9 Divided by What Equals 43?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 9 by to equal 43?Solving 9 Divided by What Equals 43Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:9x=43\frac{9}{x} = 43x9=43The 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 9:9=43∗x9 = 43*x9=43∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 43:943=x\frac{9}{43} = x439=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=0.209x = 0.209x=0.209Practice 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 48 equals 20?50 divided by what equals 56?What is 8/17 divided by 28?What is 18/2 divided by 3/19?What is 42 divided by 15/16?
