What is 20/17 Divided by 80?
Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 20/17, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 80:
Numerator of the dividend: 20
Denominator of the dividend: 17
Whole number and divisor: 80
So, what is 20/17 Divided by 80? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 20/17 Divided by 80, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
20
17
÷
80
\frac{20}{17} ÷ 80
17 20 ÷ 80
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 17, by the whole number 80:
17 x 80 = 1360
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:
1360/20 = 68/1
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,
20 divided by 17/80 =
68
