What is x when 48 divided by x equals 51?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 48 ÷ 51 = 0.94117647058824

To prove this, let's compute 48 divided by 0.94117647058824: $\frac{48}{0.94117647058824} = 51$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 48 divided by x gives a result of 51, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{48}{x} = 51$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{48 x}{x} = 51 x$
$\frac{48 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 48$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 48$ (or just $48$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $48 = 51 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 51: $\frac{48}{51} = \frac{51 x}{51}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.94117647058824 = x$ (or $x = 0.94117647058824$ )

So, if the dividend is 48 and the quotient is 51, the divisor is 0.94117647058824.
