What is 8/20 Divided by 60?
Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 8/20, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 60:
Numerator of the dividend: 8
Denominator of the dividend: 20
Whole number and divisor: 60
So, what is 8/20 Divided by 60? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 8/20 Divided by 60, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
8
20
÷
60
\frac{8}{20} ÷ 60
20 8 ÷ 60
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 20, by the whole number 60:
20 x 60 = 1200
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:
1200/8 = 150/1
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 20/60 =
150
