33 Divided by What Equals 6?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 33 by to equal 6?Solving 33 Divided by What Equals 6Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:33x=6\frac{33}{x} = 6x33=6The 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 33:33=6∗x33 = 6*x33=6∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 6:336=x\frac{33}{6} = x633=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=5.500x = 5.500x=5.500Practice 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 72 equals 50?94 divided by what equals 9?What is 3/2 divided by 2?What is 17/18 divided by 14/6?What is 53 divided by 5/16?
