If the divisor is 4 and the quotient is 8, what is the dividend?

Answer 1

Riley Anderson

#"dividend" = 32#

Given: divisor #= 4#; quotient #= 8#

Find dividend.

#"dividend" -:"divisor "= "quotient"#

#x -: 4 = 8#

If you know your #8# multiplication facts, you know that #32 -: 4 = 8#

If you didn't know this you can solve the equation as follows:

Rewrite the equation: #x/4 = 8#

Multiple both sides of the equation by #4# to eliminate the denominator:

#x/cancel(4) xx cancel(4)/1= 8 xx 4/1#

#x = 8 xx 4 = 32#

The dividend can be found by multiplying the divisor by the quotient. In this case, the divisor is 4 and the quotient is 8. So, the dividend is ( 4 \times 8 = 32 ). Therefore, the dividend is 32.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
