What number do we need to divide #2# by to get #90# as our solution?

2 Answers

Let say that #a# is the number we are looking then

#2/a=90#

Hence

#a*2/a=a*90#

#2=90*a#

#a=2/90#

So we verify that our result is the correct one

#2/(2/90)=(90*2)/2=90#

Call the number we want to find '#x#', then:

#2/x=90#

Multiply both sides by #x#, then divide both sides by #90#, and we have:

#x=2/90=1/45~=0.0222#
