12 times what equals 22?


12 times what equals 22? In other words, what do you multiply by 12 to get 22? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "12 times what equals 22?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

12 • x = 22

Which can be written as:

12x = 22

To solve the equation above, we need to remove the 12 on the left side to make the x alone. To do that, we divide both sides by 12.

12x/12 = 22/12

12x/12 is x and 22/12 is 1.8333 which means our equation will look like this:

x = 1.8333

Thus, the answer to "12 times what equals 22?" is 1.8333.


To double-check our work, multiply 1.8333 by 12 to see that it equals 22. (Note that our answer on this page is rounded to 4 digits if necessary.)
