What value divided by 11 equals 12?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 11 and the quotient 12?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 11 × 12 = 132
To prove this, let's compute 132 divided by 11:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 11 gives a result of 12 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 11:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 11 and the quotient is 12, the dividend is 132.
