$"dividend" = 32$

Given: divisor $= 4$ ; quotient $= 8$

Find dividend.

$"dividend" -:"divisor "= "quotient"$

$x -: 4 = 8$

If you know your $8$ multiplication facts, you know that $32 -: 4 = 8$

If you didn't know this you can solve the equation as follows:

Rewrite the equation: $x/4 = 8$

Multiple both sides of the equation by $4$ to eliminate the denominator:

$x/cancel(4) xx cancel(4)/1= 8 xx 4/1$

$x = 8 xx 4 = 32$
