9 divided by what equals 5?


9 divided by what equals 5? In other words, you have 9 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:

   
9
 
   
X
 
  = 5

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

   
9(X)
 
   
X
 
  = 5(X)

  9 = 5X

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

   
9
 
   
5
 
  =
   
5X
 
   
5
 

  1.8 = X

Thus, the answer to "9 divided by what equals 5?" is 1.8.
