Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 4/16, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 3:
Numerator of the dividend: 4
Denominator of the dividend: 16
Whole number and divisor: 3
So, what is 4/16 Divided by 3? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 4/16 Divided by 3, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
4
16
÷
3
\frac{4}{16} ÷ 3
16 4 ÷ 3
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 16, by the whole number 3:
16 x 3 = 48
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:
48/4 = 12/1
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,
4 divided by 16/3 =
12
