Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 18/5, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 18:
Numerator of the dividend: 18
Denominator of the dividend: 5
Whole number and divisor: 18
So, what is 18/5 Divided by 18? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 18/5 Divided by 18, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
18
5
÷
18
\frac{18}{5} ÷ 18
5 18 ÷ 18
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 5, by the whole number 18:
5 x 18 = 90
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:
90/18 = 5/1
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,
18 divided by 5/18 =
5
