Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 3/18, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 17:
Numerator of the dividend: 3
Denominator of the dividend: 18
Whole number and divisor: 17
So, what is 3/18 Divided by 17? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 3/18 Divided by 17, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
3
18
÷
17
\frac{3}{18} ÷ 17
18 3 ÷ 17
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 18, by the whole number 17:
18 x 17 = 306
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:
306/3 = 102/1
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,
3 divided by 18/17 =
102
