What is x when 11 divided by x equals 60?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 11 and the quotient 60?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 11 ÷ 60 = 0.18333333333333

To prove this, let's compute 11 divided by 0.18333333333333: 11 0.18333333333333 = 60

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 11 divided by x gives a result of 60, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

11 x = 60

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 11 x x = 60 x
  2. 11 x x is equivalent to x x × 11 , which simplifies to 1 × 11 (or just 11 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 11 = 60 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 60: 11 60 = 60 x 60
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.18333333333333 = x (or x = 0.18333333333333 )

So, if the dividend is 11 and the quotient is 60, the divisor is 0.18333333333333.
