Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 15/20, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 9:
Numerator of the dividend: 15
Denominator of the dividend: 20
Whole number and divisor: 9
So, what is 15/20 Divided by 9? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 15/20 Divided by 9, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
15
20
÷
9
\frac{15}{20} ÷ 9
20 15 ÷ 9
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 20, by the whole number 9:
20 x 9 = 180
Step 2:
The result of this multiplication will now become the denominator of the answer. The answer to the problem in fraction form can now be seen:
180/15 = 12/1
A fraction that has 1 as its denominator is an improper fraction. So, we should simplify this to just the numerator. Since the numerator is a whole number, there is no reason to write the answer in decimal form.
So,
15 divided by 20/9 =
12
