Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 6/12, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 85:
Numerator of the dividend: 6
Denominator of the dividend: 12
Whole number and divisor: 85
So, what is 6/12 Divided by 85? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 6/12 Divided by 85, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
6
12
÷
85
\frac{6}{12} ÷ 85
12 6 ÷ 85
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 12, by the whole number 85:
12 x 85 = 1020
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:
1020/6 = 170/1
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,
6 divided by 12/85 =
170
