What value divided by 60 equals 8?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 60 and the quotient 8?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 60 × 8 = 480
To prove this, let's compute 480 divided by 60:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 60 gives a result of 8 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 8, the dividend is 480.
