What value divided by 50 equals 90?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 50 and the quotient 90?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 50 × 90 = 4500
To prove this, let's compute 4500 divided by 50:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 50 gives a result of 90 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 90, the dividend is 4500.
