What is x when 88 divided by x equals 60?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 88 ÷ 60 = 1.4666666666667

To prove this, let's compute 88 divided by 1.4666666666667: $\frac{88}{1.4666666666667} = 60$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 88 divided by x gives a result of 60, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{88}{x} = 60$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{88 x}{x} = 60 x$
$\frac{88 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 88$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 88$ (or just $88$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $88 = 60 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 60: $\frac{88}{60} = \frac{60 x}{60}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.4666666666667 = x$ (or $x = 1.4666666666667$ )

So, if the dividend is 88 and the quotient is 60, the divisor is 1.4666666666667.
