What Divided By 48 Equals 438

Solving What Divided by 48 Equals 438

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

$\frac{x}{48}=438$

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 $48$, resulting in this equation:

$x = 438 \times 48$

Then we simplify and find our answer:

$x = 21024$

So, the answer to the question “What divided by $48$ equals $438$?” is $21024$. To prove this, we can take the original problem:

$\frac{x}{48} = 438$

And insert $21024$ in the place of $x$:

$\frac{21024}{48} = 438$

Because this is true, the answer must be correct.
