Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 6/12, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 61:
Numerator of the dividend: 6
Denominator of the dividend: 12
Whole number and divisor: 61
So, what is 6/12 Divided by 61? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 6/12 Divided by 61, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
6
12
÷
61
\frac{6}{12} ÷ 61
12 6 ÷ 61
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 12, by the whole number 61:
12 x 61 = 732
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:
732/6 = 122/1
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,
6 divided by 12/61 =
122
