What value divided by 55 equals 10?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 55 and the quotient 10?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 55 × 10 = 550
To prove this, let's compute 550 divided by 55:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 55 gives a result of 10 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 55:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 55 and the quotient is 10, the dividend is 550.
