What is 2/12 Divided by 25?
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 25:
Numerator of the dividend: 2
Denominator of the dividend: 12
Whole number and divisor: 25
So, what is 2/12 Divided by 25? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 2/12 Divided by 25, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
2
12
÷
25
\frac{2}{12} ÷ 25
12 2 ÷ 25
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 12, by the whole number 25:
12 x 25 = 300
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:
300/2 = 150/1
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 12/25 =
150
