Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 15/9, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 70:
Numerator of the dividend: 15
Denominator of the dividend: 9
Whole number and divisor: 70
So, what is 15/9 Divided by 70? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 15/9 Divided by 70, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
15
9
÷
70
\frac{15}{9} ÷ 70
9 15 ÷ 70
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 9, by the whole number 70:
9 x 70 = 630
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:
630/15 = 42/1
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,
15 divided by 9/70 =
42
