What is 10/2 Divided by 85?
Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 10/2, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 85:
Numerator of the dividend: 10
Denominator of the dividend: 2
Whole number and divisor: 85
So, what is 10/2 Divided by 85? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 10/2 Divided by 85, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
10
2
÷
85
\frac{10}{2} ÷ 85
2 10 ÷ 85
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 2, by the whole number 85:
2 x 85 = 170
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:
170/10 = 17/1
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,
10 divided by 2/85 =
17
