Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 6/15, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 58:
Numerator of the dividend: 6
Denominator of the dividend: 15
Whole number and divisor: 58
So, what is 6/15 Divided by 58? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 6/15 Divided by 58, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
6
15
÷
58
\frac{6}{15} ÷ 58
15 6 ÷ 58
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 15, by the whole number 58:
15 x 58 = 870
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:
870/6 = 145/1
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,
6 divided by 15/58 =
145
