68 times what equals 98?

68 times what equals 98? In other words, what do you multiply by 68 to get 98? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "68 times what equals 98?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

68 • x = 98

Which can be written as:

68x = 98

To solve the equation above, we need to remove the 68 on the left side to make the x alone. To do that, we divide both sides by 68.

68x/68 = 98/68

68x/68 is x and 98/68 is 1.4412 which means our equation will look like this:

x = 1.4412
