What value divided by 48 equals 10?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 48 and the quotient 10?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 48 × 10 = 480
To prove this, let's compute 480 divided by 48:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 48 gives a result of 10 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 48:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 48 and the quotient is 10, the dividend is 480.
