What value divided by 30 equals 24?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 30 and the quotient 24?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 30 × 24 = 720
To prove this, let's compute 720 divided by 30:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 30 gives a result of 24 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 24, the dividend is 720.
