3/4 divided by what equals 8/8?

Here we will show you how to calculate "what" in this sentence: "3/4 divided by what equals 8/8?" We start by making this word problem into an algebraic equation where "what" is the variable "x".

(3/4) / x = (8/8)

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

((3/4) / x)x = (8/8)x

Which equals:

(3/4) = (8/8)x

Then we divide each side by 8/8 to like this:

(3/4) / (8/8) = ((8/8)x) / (8/8)

(3/4) / (8/8) is 3/4 and ((8/8)x) / (8/8) leaves x which means we end up with x = 3/4. Therefore, the answer to "3/4 divided by what equals 8/8?" is as follows:
