Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 3/13, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 9:
Numerator of the dividend: 3
Denominator of the dividend: 13
Whole number and divisor: 9
So, what is 3/13 Divided by 9? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 3/13 Divided by 9, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
3
13
÷
9
\frac{3}{13} ÷ 9
13 3 ÷ 9
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 13, by the whole number 9:
13 x 9 = 117
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:
117/3 = 39/1
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,
3 divided by 13/9 =
39
