11 times what equals 39?

11 times what equals 39? In other words, what do you multiply by 11 to get 39? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "11 times what equals 39?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

11 • x = 39

Which can be written as:

11x = 39

To solve the equation above, we need to remove the 11 on the left side to make the x alone. To do that, we divide both sides by 11.

11x/11 = 39/11

11x/11 is x and 39/11 is 3.5455 which means our equation will look like this:

x = 3.5455

Thus, the answer to "11 times what equals 39?" is 3.5455.

To double-check our work, multiply 3.5455 by 11 to see that it equals 39. (Note that our answer on this page is rounded to 4 digits if necessary.)
