What is 1/3 Divided by 18?
Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 1/3, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 18:
Numerator of the dividend: 1
Denominator of the dividend: 3
Whole number and divisor: 18
So, what is 1/3 Divided by 18? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 1/3 Divided by 18, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
1
3
÷
18
\frac{1}{3} ÷ 18
3 1 ÷ 18
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 3, by the whole number 18:
3 x 18 = 54
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:
54/1 = 54/1
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 3/18 =
54
