What value divided by 11 equals 15?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 11 and the quotient 15?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 11 × 15 = 165
To prove this, let's compute 165 divided by 11:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 11 gives a result of 15 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 15, the dividend is 165.
