What value divided by 50 equals 45?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 50 and the quotient 45?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 50 × 45 = 2250
To prove this, let's compute 2250 divided by 50:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 50 gives a result of 45 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 50:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 50 and the quotient is 45, the dividend is 2250.
