Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 5/15, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 95:
Numerator of the dividend: 5
Denominator of the dividend: 15
Whole number and divisor: 95
So, what is 5/15 Divided by 95? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 5/15 Divided by 95, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
5
15
÷
95
\frac{5}{15} ÷ 95
15 5 ÷ 95
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 15, by the whole number 95:
15 x 95 = 1425
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:
1425/5 = 285/1
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 15/95 =
285
