Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 7/18, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 21:
Numerator of the dividend: 7
Denominator of the dividend: 18
Whole number and divisor: 21
So, what is 7/18 Divided by 21? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 7/18 Divided by 21, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
7
18
÷
21
\frac{7}{18} ÷ 21
18 7 ÷ 21
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 18, by the whole number 21:
18 x 21 = 378
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:
378/7 = 54/1
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,
7 divided by 18/21 =
54
