11 times what equals 99?

11 times what equals 99? In other words, what do you multiply by 11 to get 99? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "11 times what equals 99?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

11 • x = 99

Which can be written as:

11x = 99

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 = 99/11

11x/11 is x and 99/11 is 9 which means our equation will look like this:

x = 9

Thus, the answer to "11 times what equals 99?" is 9.

To double-check our work, multiply 9 by 11 to see that it equals 99. (Note that our answer on this page is rounded to 4 digits if necessary.)
