What is 5/20 Divided by 65?
Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 5/20, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 65:
Numerator of the dividend: 5
Denominator of the dividend: 20
Whole number and divisor: 65
So, what is 5/20 Divided by 65? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 5/20 Divided by 65, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
5
20
÷
65
\frac{5}{20} ÷ 65
20 5 ÷ 65
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 20, by the whole number 65:
20 x 65 = 1300
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:
1300/5 = 260/1
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 20/65 =
260
