What is 1/12 Divided by 17?
Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 1/12, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 17:
Numerator of the dividend: 1
Denominator of the dividend: 12
Whole number and divisor: 17
So, what is 1/12 Divided by 17? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 1/12 Divided by 17, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
1
12
÷
17
\frac{1}{12} ÷ 17
12 1 ÷ 17
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 12, by the whole number 17:
12 x 17 = 204
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:
204/1 = 204/1
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,
1 divided by 12/17 =
204
