Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 9/8, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 27:
Numerator of the dividend: 9
Denominator of the dividend: 8
Whole number and divisor: 27
So, what is 9/8 Divided by 27? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 9/8 Divided by 27, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
9
8
÷
27
\frac{9}{8} ÷ 27
8 9 ÷ 27
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 8, by the whole number 27:
8 x 27 = 216
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:
