What is x when 69 divided by x equals 85?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 69 ÷ 85 = 0.81176470588235

To prove this, let's compute 69 divided by 0.81176470588235: $\frac{69}{0.81176470588235} = 85$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 69 divided by x gives a result of 85, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{69}{x} = 85$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{69 x}{x} = 85 x$
$\frac{69 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 69$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 69$ (or just $69$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $69 = 85 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 85: $\frac{69}{85} = \frac{85 x}{85}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.81176470588235 = x$ (or $x = 0.81176470588235$ )

So, if the dividend is 69 and the quotient is 85, the divisor is 0.81176470588235.
