What value divided by 60 equals 80?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 60 and the quotient 80?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 60 × 80 = 4800
To prove this, let's compute 4800 divided by 60:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 60 gives a result of 80 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 80, the dividend is 4800.
