90 times what equals 47?

90 times what equals 47? In other words, what do you multiply by 90 to get 47? If "x" is "what" in the sentence, "90 times what equals 47?", then the equation to solve the problem is as follows:

90 • x = 47

Which can be written as:

90x = 47

To solve the equation above, we need to remove the 90 on the left side to make the x alone. To do that, we divide both sides by 90.

90x/90 = 47/90

90x/90 is x and 47/90 is 0.5222 which means our equation will look like this:

x = 0.5222

Thus, the answer to "90 times what equals 47?" is 0.5222.

To double-check our work, multiply 0.5222 by 90 to see that it equals 47. (Note that our answer on this page is rounded to 4 digits if necessary.)
