First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 17/19, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 85:
Numerator of the dividend: 17
Denominator of the dividend: 19
Whole number and divisor: 85
So, what is 17/19 Divided by 85? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 17/19 Divided by 85, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
17
19
÷
85
\frac{17}{19} ÷ 85
19 17 ÷ 85
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 19, by the whole number 85:
19 x 85 = 1615
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:
1615/17 = 95/1
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,
17 divided by 19/85 =
