What is 4/20 Divided by 8?
Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 4/20, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 8:
Numerator of the dividend: 4
Denominator of the dividend: 20
Whole number and divisor: 8
So, what is 4/20 Divided by 8? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 4/20 Divided by 8, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
4
20
÷
8
\frac{4}{20} ÷ 8
20 4 ÷ 8
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 20, by the whole number 8:
20 x 8 = 160
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:
160/4 = 40/1
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,
4 divided by 20/8 =
40
