What Divided By 27 Equals 139

Solving What Divided by 27 Equals 139

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

$\frac{x}{27}=139$

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 $27$, resulting in this equation:

$x = 139 \times 27$

Then we simplify and find our answer:

$x = 3753$

So, the answer to the question “What divided by $27$ equals $139$?” is $3753$. To prove this, we can take the original problem:

$\frac{x}{27} = 139$

And insert $3753$ in the place of $x$:

$\frac{3753}{27} = 139$

Because this is true, the answer must be correct.
