What value divided by 9 equals 45?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 9 and the quotient 45?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 9 × 45 = 405
To prove this, let's compute 405 divided by 9:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 9 gives a result of 45 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 9:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 9 and the quotient is 45, the dividend is 405.
