What is 3/15 Divided by 44?
Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 3/15, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 44:
Numerator of the dividend: 3
Denominator of the dividend: 15
Whole number and divisor: 44
So, what is 3/15 Divided by 44? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 3/15 Divided by 44, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
3
15
÷
44
\frac{3}{15} ÷ 44
15 3 ÷ 44
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 15, by the whole number 44:
15 x 44 = 660
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:
660/3 = 220/1
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 15/44 =
220
