What value divided by 60 equals 25?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 60 and the quotient 25?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 60 × 25 = 1500
To prove this, let's compute 1500 divided by 60:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 60 gives a result of 25 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 60:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 60 and the quotient is 25, the dividend is 1500.
