8 times what equals 14?
8 times what equals 14? In other words, what do you multiply by 8 to get 14? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "8 times what equals 14?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:
8 • x = 14
Which can be written as:
8x = 14
To solve the equation above, we need to remove the 8 on the left side to make the x alone. To do that, we divide both sides by 8.
8x/8 = 14/8
8x/8 is x and 14/8 is 1.75 which means our equation will look like this:
x = 1.75
Thus, the answer to "8 times what equals 14?" is 1.75.
To double-check our work, multiply 1.75 by 8 to see that it equals 14. (Note that our answer on this page is rounded to 4 digits if necessary.)
