It's not so amazing that you can divide both sides by the same quantity.
What IS special is the fact that after you do that, the two sides are still
equal. And it also works for addition, subtraction, and multiplication.
Right there in a nutshell is the whole story of working with equations and
solving them. It all rests on the axiom from Algebra that says ...
If equals are (added to)/(subtracted from)/(multiplied by)/(divided by) equals,
then the results are equal.
Take 8 radians and divide it by the quantity 2 pi.
81.2m (approx). 'Pi' (approx 3.142 ) is the quantity that expresses the relationship between the diameter of a circle and its circumference. ie. the circumference is 3.142 times greater than the diameter. To solve your problem, divide 255 metres by 3.142
well one way to do it would be to to take your total area and divide it by the measurement of one side. for istance my property is 200 feet wide and i own 3 acres of land. an acre is 43560 sqare feet. 43560sqft X 3 acres is 130,680 square ft. so to find how far back my property line is i take 130,680 sqft divided by 200 feet across=? my back property line is aproximately 653.4 feet back from the front property line... sheesh
divide it by 3.141592653 then divide it by 2
it is when you divide a line into two equal parts.
you can just use multilecation to do division The division POE (property of equality) Allows you to divide each side of an equation by the same number. If I were solving for x in this equation, I would use the division POE -2x = 4 /-2 /-2 x = -2

You often need the additive property of equality. It says if a=b then a+c=b+c.This alone may be enough to solve many equations. Sometimes you need to multiply or divide both sides. This is the multiplicative property of equality.
I think its a property in which both sides of an equation are equal either by adding, subtracting, multiplication, or division.
You multiply or divide the first quantity by the number and then you do the same for the other quantity.
That means that subtracting the same value or expression from both sides of an equation is a valid operation, in the sense that the new equation will have the same solution set. The definitions of "addition property...", "multiplication property..." and "division property..." are similar; with the main caveat that you may not multiply or divide by zero.
you divide by the total quantity
Divide it by 10
Multiply the quantity by .2 or divide the quantity by 5. Either method will yield 1/5 of that quantity.
Divide the quantity of each of the ingredients in half.
If you multiply or divide an equation by any non-zero number, the two sides of the equation remain equal. This property is almost always needed for solving equations in which the variables have coefficients other than 1.
If you divide both sides of an equation by some non-zero number then they remain the same. The non-zero number part is added because we cannot divide by zero. Example: 2x+2=10 Divide by sides by 2 and we have x+1=5 which is the same as the original equation. The solution to both is x=4
