In order to understand the division of a whole number by a fraction, we can examine the division of the number 11 by the fraction 12/18. The components of this problem include the dividend (11), the numerator of the divisor (12), and the denominator of the divisor (18).
To determine the result of this division, we can organize our problem as follows: 11 divided by 12 over 18. We should start by multiplying the dividend (11) by the denominator of the divisor (18), and our result should be 198. We now have the fraction 198 over 12, which can be simplified into decimal form by dividing the numerator by the denominator. The result is 16.5.
Hence, 11 divided by 12/18 results in 16.5 in decimal form and 33/2 in fractional form.
Using chracters: \[11 ÷ \frac{12}{18} = \frac{ 11 \cdot 18 }{12} = \frac{198}{12} = 16.5\] Find similar division problems:
