Here’s an in-depth guide to solving division problems involving fractions and whole numbers. We’ll use the problem, “What is 11/18 Divided by 62?” as an example. First, identify the elements: the fraction (dividend) is 11/18, and the whole number (divisor) is 62. In the fraction, 11 is the numerator and 18 is the denominator. Now, let’s work through the problem step by step.
Step 1: Multiply the whole number, 62, by the denominator of the fraction, 18:
18 x 62 = 1116
Step 2: This product becomes the denominator of the answer. The result of the problem in fraction form is therefore:
$18 \cdot 62 / 11 = 1116 / 11$
To find the decimal equivalent, divide the numerator, 1116, by the denominator, 11 (rounded to three decimal places if necessary:
$1116 / 11 = 101.45$
Therefore, 11 divided by 18/62 equals 101.45 (in decimal form) and 1116/11 (in fraction form).
Now you can apply this method to other problems, such as:
