7 divided by what equals 6 but the number has to be less than 36

Answer 1

To find the number that, when you divide 7 by it, equals 6, you can set up the equation:

\[ \frac{7}{x} = 6 \]

To solve for \( x \), you can cross-multiply:

\[ 7 = 6x \]

Now, divide both sides by 6:

\[ x = \frac{7}{6} \]

The value of \( \frac{7}{6} \) is approximately \( 1.1667 \), which is indeed less than 36. Therefore, \( \frac{7}{6} \) is the answer.
