80 times what equals 18?

80 times what equals 18? In other words, what do you multiply by 80 to get 18? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "80 times what equals 18?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

80 • x = 18

Which can be written as:

80x = 18

To solve the equation above, we need to remove the 80 on the left side to make the x alone. To do that, we divide both sides by 80.

80x/80 = 18/80

80x/80 is x and 18/80 is 0.225 which means our equation will look like this:

x = 0.225

Thus, the answer to "80 times what equals 18?" is 0.225.

To double-check our work, multiply 0.225 by 80 to see that it equals 18. (Note that our answer on this page is rounded to 4 digits if necessary.)
