What value divided by 80 equals 48?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 80 and the quotient 48?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 80 × 48 = 3840
To prove this, let's compute 3840 divided by 80:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 80 gives a result of 48 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 80:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 80 and the quotient is 48, the dividend is 3840.
