What Divided by 4 Equals 76?
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 4, equals 76?
Solving What Divided by 4 Equals 76
Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:
x
4
=
76
\frac{x}{4} = 76
4 x = 76
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 4, resulting in this equation:
x
=
76
∗
4
x = 76*4
x = 76 ∗ 4
Then we simplify and find our answer:
x
=
304
x = 304
x = 304
So, the answer to the question “What divided by 4 equals 76?” is 304.To prove this, we can take the original problem:
x
4
=
76
\frac{x}{4} = 76
4 x = 76
And insert 304 in the place of x:
304
4
=
76
\frac{304}{4} = 76
4 304 = 76
Because this is true, the answer must be correct.
