What value divided by 11 equals 40?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 11 and the quotient 40?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 11 × 40 = 440
To prove this, let's compute 440 divided by 11:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 11 gives a result of 40 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 40, the dividend is 440.
