7/9 divided by what equals 1/1?

Here we will show you how to calculate "what" in this sentence: "7/9 divided by what equals 1/1?" We start by making this word problem into an algebraic equation where "what" is the variable "x".

(7/9) / x = (1/1)

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

((7/9) / x)x = (1/1)x

Which equals:

(7/9) = (1/1)x

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

(7/9) / (1/1) = ((1/1)x) / (1/1)

(7/9) / (1/1) is 7/9 and ((1/1)x) / (1/1) leaves x which means we end up with x = 7/9. Therefore, the answer to "7/9 divided by what equals 1/1?" is as follows:
