Question

What divided by 6 equals 7?

Answer 1

Hint: In this problem we will use general mathematics to solve this question. Here it is asked to get the number which will give us the result as 7 if we divide that number by 6. It means that is the multiple of 6. We can get that directly by multiplying 7 with 6.

Complete step by step solution:
According to the question we have to ask to find the number which gives 7 when divided by 6.
As we know that if any number is given then if we divide that number by any other number then, the other number is known as a divisor and the number which is dividing that is known as dividend and by divide dividend we got a number again that number is known as quotient and at the last if any term remains that is known as the remainder.

Here, 2 is divisor, 60 is dividend, 30 is quotient and 0 is remainder.
But if we want to get our dividend again and only if divisor and quotient is given, then,
We multiply both divisor and quotient with each other, and this will give us the dividend.
Let’s see,
Here, the quotient is 30 and divisor is 2.
So, the dividend is = quotient $$\times$$ divisor
                                  $$\begin{array}{rl}& =30\times 2\\ & =60\end{array}$$
So, according to our question, let’s assume that the dividend is x.
Then we can say that, $${\displaystyle \frac{x}{6}}=7$$
Now, we need to find x.
So, multiply both sides with 6, then:
$$\begin{array}{rl}& \Rightarrow {\displaystyle \frac{x}{6}}\times 6=7\times 6\\ & \Rightarrow x=42\end{array}$$

So, the dividend is 42.

Note:
While solving this question always remember the dividend and divisor and quotient relation this will help very much in this. And if we are solving it then always be careful with the general calculations and try to find the exact answer.
