What Divided By 12 Equals 103

Solving What Divided by 12 Equals 103

Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:

$\frac{x}{12}=103$

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 $12$, resulting in this equation:

$x = 103 \times 12$

Then we simplify and find our answer:

$x = 1236$

So, the answer to the question “What divided by $12$ equals $103$?” is $1236$. To prove this, we can take the original problem:

$\frac{x}{12} = 103$

And insert $1236$ in the place of $x$:

$\frac{1236}{12} = 103$

Because this is true, the answer must be correct.
