Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 7/14, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 27:
Numerator of the dividend: 7
Denominator of the dividend: 14
Whole number and divisor: 27
So, what is 7/14 Divided by 27? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 7/14 Divided by 27, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
7
14
÷
27
\frac{7}{14} ÷ 27
14 7 ÷ 27
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 14, by the whole number 27:
14 x 27 = 378
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:
378/7 = 54/1
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,
7 divided by 14/27 =
54
