25 times what equals 70?

25 times what equals 70? In other words, what do you multiply by 25 to get 70? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "25 times what equals 70?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

25 • x = 70

Which can be written as:

25x = 70

To solve the equation above, we need to remove the 25 on the left side to make the x alone. To do that, we divide both sides by 25.

25x/25 = 70/25

25x/25 is x and 70/25 is 2.8 which means our equation will look like this:

x = 2.8

Thus, the answer to "25 times what equals 70?" is 2.8.

To double-check our work, multiply 2.8 by 25 to see that it equals 70. (Note that our answer on this page is rounded to 4 digits if necessary.)
