What is x when 90 divided by x equals 95?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 90 and the quotient 95?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 90 ÷ 95 = 0.94736842105263

To prove this, let's compute 90 divided by 0.94736842105263: 90 0.94736842105263 = 95

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 90 divided by x gives a result of 95, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

90 x = 95

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 90 x x = 95 x
  2. 90 x x is equivalent to x x × 90 , which simplifies to 1 × 90 (or just 90 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 90 = 95 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 95: 90 95 = 95 x 95
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.94736842105263 = x (or x = 0.94736842105263 )

So, if the dividend is 90 and the quotient is 95, the divisor is 0.94736842105263.
