What is x when 20 divided by x equals 18?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 20 ÷ 18 = 1.1111111111111

To prove this, let's compute 20 divided by 1.1111111111111: $\frac{20}{1.1111111111111} = 18$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 20 divided by x gives a result of 18, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{20}{x} = 18$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{20 x}{x} = 18 x$
$\frac{20 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 20$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 20$ (or just $20$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $20 = 18 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 18: $\frac{20}{18} = \frac{18 x}{18}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.1111111111111 = x$ (or $x = 1.1111111111111$ )

So, if the dividend is 20 and the quotient is 18, the divisor is 1.1111111111111.
