What is x when 12 divided by x equals 44?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 12 ÷ 44 = 0.27272727272727

To prove this, let's compute 12 divided by 0.27272727272727: $\frac{12}{0.27272727272727} = 44$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 12 divided by x gives a result of 44, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{12}{x} = 44$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{12 x}{x} = 44 x$
$\frac{12 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 12$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 12$ (or just $12$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $12 = 44 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 44: $\frac{12}{44} = \frac{44 x}{44}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.27272727272727 = x$ (or $x = 0.27272727272727$ )

So, if the dividend is 12 and the quotient is 44, the divisor is 0.27272727272727.
