Q:

What Divided by 68 Equals 34?

Accepted Solution

A:

In Math, "what" often denotes an unknown variable that needs to be solved for. In most cases, this variable is recognized as "x". Thus, the problem "What divided by 68 equals 34?" translates to "What number, x, when divided by 68, equals 34?". To solve this, we set the problem as an equation "$\frac{x}{68} = 34$".

The primary aim is to solve for "x". We could reach this by changing the form of the equation, leaving "x" on one side. This can be accomplished by multiplying each side of the equation by 68, which results in "$x = 34*68$", simplifying this gives "$x = 2312$". Hence, 2312 is the solution for "What divided by 68 equals 34?". We can verify this by substituting 2312 for "x" in the original equation "$\frac{x}{68} = 34$" which becomes "$\frac{2312}{68} = 34$".
