This question is equivalent to the statement (x/5)=7.2
Multiply both sides to get x=36.
So 36 / 5 = 7.2

36
if you want to know why then read on.
x/y=z
if in this calculation we know two of the unknown terms then we can always work out the two by using several, obvious methods reversing the process and revealing the unknown.
In my examples:
x=10 y=5 z=2
x=10 y=5 z=??? x/y=z 10/5=2
where z is unknown it is a simple regular sum.
x=10 y=??? z=2 x/z=y 10/2=5
where y is unknown we divide x by z instead to get y, because of one of the fundamental laws of standard mathematics (x*y=y*x SO if z/y=x then z/x=y)
x=??? y=5 z=2 y*z=x 5*2=10
Where x is unknown you can multiply y by z to get x, by simply reversing the sum, a very basic mathematical action
This is quite simple and easy (and unfortunately explained quite complicatedly), but leads to some important fundamental rules of arithmetic

What are the angle of a pentagon?
72 degrees each. There are 5 angles. You divide 360 degrees by 5 and get 72 degrees.
What percentage of 72 is 60?
Divide 60 by 72 - (60/72 = 5/6 in lowest terms). 5/6 = 83%.
Six times a certain number diminished by 5 is 72?
Suppose the number is x Then number diminished by 5 is (x-5) Six times the number diminished by 5 is 6*(x-5) So 6*(x-5) = 72 Divide both sides by 6: (x-5) = 12 Add 5 to both sides: x = 17
What is the reciprocal of -72?
The reciprocal of 72 is 1/72 because 72 x 1/72 is 1.
Is 360 divisible by 5?
Yes it is. If you divide 360 by 5, you would get 72.
How do you divide a circle in to 5 equal parts?
The number of degrees in one complete revolution of a radius is 360°. Therefore the number of degrees covered in 1/5 of a revolution is 72° . To divide a circle into 5 equal parts create 5 sectors each measuring 72° at the centre of the circle.
What times 5 is the factorization of 72?
Factorization of 725 will not divide evenly in 72, so it is not in the factorization. An easy way to know if a number is divisible by 5 is to look at the digit in the ones place. If it is 0 or 5, it is divisible by 5. If any other number is in the one's place, the number is not divisible by 5.
When you divide the number by 5 the remainder is 4?
this does not make sense. What number?
Six times a certain number diminished by 5 is 72?
Suppose the number is x Then number diminished by 5 is (x-5) Six times the number diminished by 5 is 6*(x-5) So 6*(x-5) = 72 Divide both sides by 6: (x-5) = 12 Add 5 to both sides: x = 17

Divide 60 by 72 - (60/72 = 5/6 in lowest terms). 5/6 = 83%.
What is the reciprocal of -72?
The reciprocal of 72 is 1/72 because 72 x 1/72 is 1.
Is 360 divisible by 5?
Yes it is. If you divide 360 by 5, you would get 72.
Has 72 divide by 5 got a remainder 2?
Yes
What is 12 divide by 72?
0.1667
What is 45 out of 72 as a fraction?
divide both sides by 9 45/9 = 5 72/9 = 8 45/72 = 5/8 five eighths
An estimate for - 72 is?
It depends on what you want to do with it. If you want to divide by 8, I would stick with 72. If you want to divide by 5, I'd go for 70 or even 72.5
