Question

Determine which number is a solution of the equation. q divide 8 = 56

Answer 1

Answer: q = 56

Step-by-step explanation: First rewrite the problem to be $\frac{q}{8} = 56$

In this problem, notice that q is being divided by 8 so to get q by itself, we need to multiply both sides of the equation by 8.

Notice that on the left side the 8 and 8 cancel each other out so we're just left with q. On the right side, we have

56 x 8 which is 448 so q = 448.

Finally, we can check our answer by plugging a 488 back into the original equation. So we have $\frac{(448)}{8} = 56$ which is a true statement so our answer checks.
