8 times what equals 80?
8 times what equals 80? In other words, what do you multiply by 8 to get 80? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "8 times what equals 80?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:
8 • x = 80
Which can be written as:
8x = 80
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 = 80/8
8x/8 is x and 80/8 is 10 which means our equation will look like this:
x = 10
Thus, the answer to "8 times what equals 80?" is 10.
To double-check our work, multiply 10 by 8 to see that it equals 80. (Note that our answer on this page is rounded to 4 digits if necessary.)
