What value divided by 20 equals 48?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 20 and the quotient 48?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 20 × 48 = 960
To prove this, let's compute 960 divided by 20:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 20 gives a result of 48 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 20:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 20 and the quotient is 48, the dividend is 960.
