What is x when 60 divided by x equals 30?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 60 ÷ 30 = 2

To prove this, let's compute 60 divided by 2: $\frac{60}{2} = 30$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 60 divided by x gives a result of 30, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{60}{x} = 30$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{60 x}{x} = 30 x$
$\frac{60 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 60$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 60$ (or just $60$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $60 = 30 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 30: $\frac{60}{30} = \frac{30 x}{30}$
Which gives, after simplification: $2 = x$ (or $x = 2$ )

So, if the dividend is 60 and the quotient is 30, the divisor is 2.
