What Divided By 28 Equals 217

Solving What Divided by 28 Equals 217

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

$\frac{x}{28}=217$

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 $28$, resulting in this equation:

$x = 217 \times 28$

Then we simplify and find our answer:

$x = 6076$

So, the answer to the question “What divided by $28$ equals $217$?” is $6076$. To prove this, we can take the original problem:

$\frac{x}{28} = 217$

And insert $6076$ in the place of $x$:

$\frac{6076}{28} = 217$

Because this is true, the answer must be correct.
