What is 5/11 Divided by 15?
Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 5/11, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 15:
Numerator of the dividend: 5
Denominator of the dividend: 11
Whole number and divisor: 15
So, what is 5/11 Divided by 15? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 5/11 Divided by 15, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
5
11
÷
15
\frac{5}{11} ÷ 15
11 5 ÷ 15
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 11, by the whole number 15:
11 x 15 = 165
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:
165/5 = 33/1
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,
5 divided by 11/15 =
33
