Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 9/6, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 15:
Numerator of the dividend: 9
Denominator of the dividend: 6
Whole number and divisor: 15
So, what is 9/6 Divided by 15? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 9/6 Divided by 15, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
9
6
÷
15
\frac{9}{6} ÷ 15
6 9 ÷ 15
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 6, by the whole number 15:
6 x 15 = 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:
90/9 = 10/1
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,
9 divided by 6/15 =
10
