3/4 divided by what equals 7/1?


Here we will show you how to calculate "what" in this sentence: "3/4 divided by what equals 7/1?" We start by making this word problem into an algebraic equation where "what" is the variable "x".

(3/4) / x = (7/1)

To solve this equation, we want x alone so we start by multiplying x on both sides like this:

((3/4) / x)x = (7/1)x

Which equals:

(3/4) = (7/1)x

Then we divide each side by 7/1 to like this:

(3/4) / (7/1) = ((7/1)x) / (7/1)

(3/4) / (7/1) is 3/28 and ((7/1)x) / (7/1) leaves x which means we end up with x = 3/28. Therefore, the answer to "3/4 divided by what equals 7/1?" is as follows:

3/28


It is always good to double-check your math to make sure you did it right. When we entered 3/28 for x in this equation (3/4) / x = (7/1), we get the following true equation which means our math is correct.

(3/4) / (3/28) = (7/1)
