First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 18/6, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 45:
Numerator of the dividend: 18
Denominator of the dividend: 6
Whole number and divisor: 45
So, what is 18/6 Divided by 45? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 18/6 Divided by 45, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
18
6
÷
45
\frac{18}{6} ÷ 45
6 18 ÷ 45
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 6, by the whole number 45:
6 x 45 = 270
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:
270/18 = 15/1
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,
18 divided by 6/45 =
