What value divided by 30 equals 15?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 30 and the quotient 15?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 30 × 15 = 450
To prove this, let's compute 450 divided by 30:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 30 gives a result of 15 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 30:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 30 and the quotient is 15, the dividend is 450.
