55 times what equals 45?

55 times what equals 45? In other words, what do you multiply by 55 to get 45? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "55 times what equals 45?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

55 • x = 45

Which can be written as:

55x = 45

To solve the equation above, we need to remove the 55 on the left side to make the x alone. To do that, we divide both sides by 55.

55x/55 = 45/55
