What value divided by 75 equals 60?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 75 and the quotient 60?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 75 × 60 = 4500
To prove this, let's compute 4500 divided by 75:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 75 gives a result of 60 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 75:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 75 and the quotient is 60, the dividend is 4500.
