Grade 6 Equations: One-Step Division

Worked examples

Real problems from the practice worksheets, solved one step at a time.

1. Example 1

   Solve: m ÷ 7 = 11

   1. Multiply both sides by 7: m = 11 × 7 = 77.
   2. Check: 77 ÷ 7 = 11 ✓ So m = 77.

   Answer: 77

2. Example 2

   Solve: x ÷ 11 = 2

   1. Multiply both sides by 11: x = 2 × 11 = 22.
   2. Check: 22 ÷ 11 = 2 ✓ So x = 22.

   Answer: 22

3. Example 3

   Solve: 14 = x ÷ 7

   1. Flip the sides so x is on the left: x ÷ 7 = 14.
   2. Multiply both sides by 7: x = 14 × 7 = 98.
   3. Check: 98 ÷ 7 = 14 ✓ So x = 98.

   Answer: 98
