What Divided by 1 Equals 98?
Methods
Setting up the problem:
In a problem like this, the “what” means that we’re working with a variable. The most common variable used in math is “x”. So, we could say what number, x, when divided by 1, equals 98?
Solving What Divided by 1 Equals 98
Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:
x
1
=
98
\frac{x}{1} = 98
1 x = 98
The goal of the problem is to solve for x. To do this we need to change the equation so that x is alone on one side of the equation.In this case, we can do that by multiplying both sides of the equation by 1, resulting in this equation:
x
=
98
∗
1
x = 98*1
x = 98 ∗ 1
Then we simplify and find our answer:
x
=
98
x = 98
x = 98
So, the answer to the question “What divided by 1 equals 98?” is 98.To prove this, we can take the original problem:
x
1
=
98
\frac{x}{1} = 98
1 x = 98
And insert 98 in the place of x:
98
1
=
98
\frac{98}{1} = 98
1 98 = 98
Because this is true, the answer must be correct.
