What Divided by 1 Equals 65?
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 65?
Solving What Divided by 1 Equals 65
Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:
x
1
=
65
\frac{x}{1} = 65
1 x = 65
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
=
65
∗
1
x = 65*1
x = 65 ∗ 1
Then we simplify and find our answer:
x
=
65
x = 65
x = 65
So, the answer to the question “What divided by 1 equals 65?” is 65.To prove this, we can take the original problem:
x
1
=
65
\frac{x}{1} = 65
1 x = 65
And insert 65 in the place of x:
65
1
=
65
\frac{65}{1} = 65
1 65 = 65
Because this is true, the answer must be correct.
