Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 8/16, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 19:
Numerator of the dividend: 8
Denominator of the dividend: 16
Whole number and divisor: 19
So, what is 8/16 Divided by 19? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 8/16 Divided by 19, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
8
16
÷
19
\frac{8}{16} ÷ 19
16 8 ÷ 19
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 16, by the whole number 19:
16 x 19 = 304
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:
304/8 = 38/1
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,
8 divided by 16/19 =
38
