What is x when 50 divided by x equals 99?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 50 ÷ 99 = 0.50505050505051

To prove this, let's compute 50 divided by 0.50505050505051: $\frac{50}{0.50505050505051} = 99$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 50 divided by x gives a result of 99, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{50}{x} = 99$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{50 x}{x} = 99 x$
$\frac{50 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 50$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 50$ (or just $50$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $50 = 99 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 99: $\frac{50}{99} = \frac{99 x}{99}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.50505050505051 = x$ (or $x = 0.50505050505051$ )

So, if the dividend is 50 and the quotient is 99, the divisor is 0.50505050505051.
