What value divided by 48 equals 15?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 48 and the quotient 15?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 48 × 15 = 720
To prove this, let's compute 720 divided by 48:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 48 gives a result of 15 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 15, the dividend is 720.
