What is x when 28 divided by x equals 49?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 28 ÷ 49 = 0.57142857142857

To prove this, let's compute 28 divided by 0.57142857142857: $\frac{28}{0.57142857142857} = 49$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 28 divided by x gives a result of 49, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{28}{x} = 49$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{28 x}{x} = 49 x$
$\frac{28 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 28$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 28$ (or just $28$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $28 = 49 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 49: $\frac{28}{49} = \frac{49 x}{49}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.57142857142857 = x$ (or $x = 0.57142857142857$ )

So, if the dividend is 28 and the quotient is 49, the divisor is 0.57142857142857.
