What is 2/10 Divided by 20?
Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 2/10, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 20:
Numerator of the dividend: 2
Denominator of the dividend: 10
Whole number and divisor: 20
So, what is 2/10 Divided by 20? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 2/10 Divided by 20, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
2
10
÷
20
\frac{2}{10} ÷ 20
10 2 ÷ 20
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 10, by the whole number 20:
10 x 20 = 200
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:
200/2 = 100/1
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,
2 divided by 10/20 =
100
