Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 2/12, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 37:
Numerator of the dividend: 2
Denominator of the dividend: 12
Whole number and divisor: 37
So, what is 2/12 Divided by 37? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 2/12 Divided by 37, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
2
12
÷
37
\frac{2}{12} ÷ 37
12 2 ÷ 37
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 12, by the whole number 37:
12 x 37 = 444
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:
444/2 = 222/1
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,
2 divided by 12/37 =
222
