60 times what equals 88?

60 times what equals 88? In other words, what do you multiply by 60 to get 88? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "60 times what equals 88?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

60 • x = 88

Which can be written as:

60x = 88

To solve the equation above, we need to remove the 60 on the left side to make the x alone. To do that, we divide both sides by 60.

60x/60 = 88/60

60x/60 is x and 88/60 is 1.4667 which means our equation will look like this:

x = 1.4667

Thus, the answer to "60 times what equals 88?" is 1.4667.

To double-check our work, multiply 1.4667 by 60 to see that it equals 88. (Note that our answer on this page is rounded to 4 digits if necessary.)
