What value divided by 55 equals 20?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 55 and the quotient 20?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 55 × 20 = 1100
To prove this, let's compute 1100 divided by 55:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 55 gives a result of 20 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 20, the dividend is 1100.
