What Divided by 91 Equals 6?
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 91, equals 6?
Solving What Divided by 91 Equals 6
Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:
x
91
=
6
\frac{x}{91} = 6
91 x = 6
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 91, resulting in this equation:
x
=
6
∗
91
x = 6*91
x = 6 ∗ 91
Then we simplify and find our answer:
x
=
546
x = 546
x = 546
So, the answer to the question “What divided by 91 equals 6?” is 546.To prove this, we can take the original problem:
x
91
=
6
\frac{x}{91} = 6
91 x = 6
And insert 546 in the place of x:
546
91
=
6
\frac{546}{91} = 6
91 546 = 6
Because this is true, the answer must be correct.
