Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 12/15, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 96:
Numerator of the dividend: 12
Denominator of the dividend: 15
Whole number and divisor: 96
So, what is 12/15 Divided by 96? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 12/15 Divided by 96, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
12
15
÷
96
\frac{12}{15} ÷ 96
15 12 ÷ 96
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 15, by the whole number 96:
15 x 96 = 1440
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:
1440/12 = 120/1
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,
12 divided by 15/96 =
120
