Accepted Solution
Let's decipher the mathematical query posed: What does 5 divided by 11/9 equate to? Firstly, the components of the question include the whole number, 5 also classified as the dividend and the fraction 11/9 called the divisor. The divisor can be further segregated into its numerator (11) and its denominator (9).
Here is the stepwise elaboration:
The query can be rewritten as 5 ÷ \\(\frac{11}{9}\\)
Step 1:Multiply whole number 5 by the denominator of the fraction (9) resulting in 45. This yields 5 x 9 = 45
Step 2:Take the 11, the numerator of the divisor which will be the denominator of our solution. This leads to \\(\frac{5 \cdot 9}{11}\\) which simplifies to \\(\frac{45}{11}\\).
Similarly, to get the answer in decimal form, divide the numerator (45) by the denominator (11). Round off the result to three decimal places for precision. So, \\(\frac{45}{11} = {45/11}= 4.09 \\)
The solution in decimal form is, thus, 4.09 and in fraction form, it is \\(\frac{45}{11}\\).
