What value divided by 48 equals 60?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 48 and the quotient 60?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 48 × 60 = 2880
To prove this, let's compute 2880 divided by 48:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 48 gives a result of 60 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 60, the dividend is 2880.
