What is x when 24 divided by x equals 20?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 24 ÷ 20 = 1.2

To prove this, let's compute 24 divided by 1.2: $\frac{24}{1.2} = 20$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 24 divided by x gives a result of 20, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{24}{x} = 20$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{24 x}{x} = 20 x$
$\frac{24 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 24$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 24$ (or just $24$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $24 = 20 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 20: $\frac{24}{20} = \frac{20 x}{20}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.2 = x$ (or $x = 1.2$ )

So, if the dividend is 24 and the quotient is 20, the divisor is 1.2.
