This worksheet is titled
“Balancing Equations – Division”, which means each equation must be
true — the value on the left side of the equals sign must equal the value on the right side.
We solve each problem by first calculating the known side, then using that result to find the missing number.

Let’s go through each problem one by one:
---
1. `22 ÷ 2 = 11 ÷ ___`
- Left side: `22 ÷ 2 = 11`
- So: `11 = 11 ÷ ___` → What number divided into 11 gives 11? Only
1.
✔ Answer: 1
---
2. `48 ÷ 6 = 64 ÷ ___`
- Left: `48 ÷ 6 = 8`
- So: `8 = 64 ÷ ___` → `___ = 64 ÷ 8 = 8`
✔ Answer: 8
---
3. `34 ÷ 2 = 51 ÷ ___`
- Left: `34 ÷ 2 = 17`
- So: `17 = 51 ÷ ___` → `___ = 51 ÷ 17 = 3`
✔ Answer: 3
---
4. `16 ÷ 4 = ___ ÷ 2`
- Left: `16 ÷ 4 = 4`
- So: `4 = ___ ÷ 2` → `___ = 4 × 2 = 8`
✔ Answer: 8
---
5. `35 ÷ 7 = 40 ÷ ___`
- Left: `35 ÷ 7 = 5`
- So: `5 = 40 ÷ ___` → `___ = 40 ÷ 5 = 8`
✔ Answer: 8
---
6. `24 ÷ 4 = ___ ÷ 3`
- Left: `24 ÷ 4 = 6`
- So: `6 = ___ ÷ 3` → `___ = 6 × 3 = 18`
✔ Answer: 18
---
7. `25 ÷ 5 = ___ ÷ 11`
- Left: `25 ÷ 5 = 5`
- So: `5 = ___ ÷ 11` → `___ = 5 × 11 = 55`
✔ Answer: 55
---
8. `21 ÷ 3 = ___ ÷ 6`
- Left: `21 ÷ 3 = 7`
- So: `7 = ___ ÷ 6` → `___ = 7 × 6 = 42`
✔ Answer: 42
---
9. `___ ÷ 4 = 34 ÷ 2`
- Right: `34 ÷ 2 = 17`
- So: `___ ÷ 4 = 17` → `___ = 17 × 4 = 68`
✔ Answer: 68
---
10. `24 ÷ ___ = 32 ÷ 8`
- Right: `32 ÷ 8 = 4`
- So: `24 ÷ ___ = 4` → `___ = 24 ÷ 4 = 6`
✔ Answer: 6
---
11. `___ ÷ 3 = 72 ÷ 8`
- Right: `72 ÷ 8 = 9`
- So: `___ ÷ 3 = 9` → `___ = 9 × 3 = 27`
✔ Answer: 27
---
12. `24 ÷ ___ = 18 ÷ 3`
- Right: `18 ÷ 3 = 6`
- So: `24 ÷ ___ = 6` → `___ = 24 ÷ 6 = 4`
✔ Answer: 4
---
13. `___ ÷ 4 = 22 ÷ 2`
- Right: `22 ÷ 2 = 11`
- So: `___ ÷ 4 = 11` → `___ = 11 × 4 = 44`
✔ Answer: 44
---
14. `90 ÷ 3 = ___ ÷ 9`
- Left: `90 ÷ 3 = 30`
- So: `30 = ___ ÷ 9` → `___ = 30 × 9 = 270`
✔ Answer: 270
---
15. `___ ÷ 5 = 45 ÷ 9`
- Right: `45 ÷ 9 = 5`
- So: `___ ÷ 5 = 5` → `___ = 5 × 5 = 25`
✔ Answer: 25
---
16. `18 ÷ 3 = ___ ÷ 7`
- Left: `18 ÷ 3 = 6`
- So: `6 = ___ ÷ 7` → `___ = 6 × 7 = 42`
✔ Answer: 42
