1 divided by what equals 5?


1 divided by what equals 5? In other words, you have 1 and you divide it by something and then you get 5. What is that something?

We will call that something "X". Here is the equation to find the solution:

   
1
 
   
X
 
  = 5

First, multiply both sides by X to get rid of the X as denominator.

   
1(X)
 
   
X
 
  = 5(X)

  1 = 5X

Then, divide both sides by 5 to get X by itself as follows:

   
1
 
   
5
 
  =
   
5X
 
   
5
 

  0.2 = X

Thus, the answer to "1 divided by what equals 5?" is 0.2.


Note that our answers are rounded to the nearest thousandth if necessary. You can divide 1 by 0.2 to check that we got the right answer.
