What Divided by 1 Equals 93?
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 1, equals 93?
Solving What Divided by 1 Equals 93
Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:
x
1
=
93
\frac{x}{1} = 93
1 x = 93
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 1, resulting in this equation:
x
=
93
∗
1
x = 93*1
x = 93 ∗ 1
Then we simplify and find our answer:
x
=
93
x = 93
x = 93
So, the answer to the question “What divided by 1 equals 93?” is 93.To prove this, we can take the original problem:
x
1
=
93
\frac{x}{1} = 93
1 x = 93
And insert 93 in the place of x:
93
1
=
93
\frac{93}{1} = 93
1 93 = 93
Because this is true, the answer must be correct.
