What is x when 44 divided by x equals 55?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 44 ÷ 55 = 0.8

To prove this, let's compute 44 divided by 0.8: $\frac{44}{0.8} = 55$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 44 divided by x gives a result of 55, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{44}{x} = 55$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{44 x}{x} = 55 x$
$\frac{44 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 44$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 44$ (or just $44$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $44 = 55 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 55: $\frac{44}{55} = \frac{55 x}{55}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.8 = x$ (or $x = 0.8$ )

So, if the dividend is 44 and the quotient is 55, the divisor is 0.8.
