What is 1/12 Divided by 55?
Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 1/12, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 55:
Numerator of the dividend: 1
Denominator of the dividend: 12
Whole number and divisor: 55
So, what is 1/12 Divided by 55? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 1/12 Divided by 55, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
1
12
÷
55
\frac{1}{12} ÷ 55
12 1 ÷ 55
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 12, by the whole number 55:
12 x 55 = 660
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:
660/1 = 660/1
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,
1 divided by 12/55 =
660
