What is x when 50 divided by x equals 9?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 50 ÷ 9 = 5.5555555555556

To prove this, let's compute 50 divided by 5.5555555555556: $\frac{50}{5.5555555555556} = 9$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 50 divided by x gives a result of 9, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{50}{x} = 9$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{50 x}{x} = 9 x$
$\frac{50 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 50$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 50$ (or just $50$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $50 = 9 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 9: $\frac{50}{9} = \frac{9 x}{9}$
Which gives, after simplification: $5.5555555555556 = x$ (or $x = 5.5555555555556$ )

So, if the dividend is 50 and the quotient is 9, the divisor is 5.5555555555556.
