Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 8/12, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 24:
Numerator of the dividend: 8
Denominator of the dividend: 12
Whole number and divisor: 24
So, what is 8/12 Divided by 24? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 8/12 Divided by 24, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
8
12
÷
24
\frac{8}{12} ÷ 24
12 8 ÷ 24
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 12, by the whole number 24:
12 x 24 = 288
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:
288/8 = 36/1
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,
8 divided by 12/24 =
36
