What value divided by 10 equals 55?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 10 and the quotient 55?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 10 × 55 = 550
To prove this, let's compute 550 divided by 10:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 10 gives a result of 55 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 10:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 10 and the quotient is 55, the dividend is 550.
