What value divided by 90 equals 15?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 90 and the quotient 15?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 90 × 15 = 1350
To prove this, let's compute 1350 divided by 90:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 90 gives a result of 15 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 90:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 90 and the quotient is 15, the dividend is 1350.
