What is 4/7 Divided by 12?
Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 4/7, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 12:
Numerator of the dividend: 4
Denominator of the dividend: 7
Whole number and divisor: 12
So, what is 4/7 Divided by 12? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 4/7 Divided by 12, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
4
7
÷
12
\frac{4}{7} ÷ 12
7 4 ÷ 12
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 7, by the whole number 12:
7 x 12 = 84
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:
84/4 = 21/1
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 7/12 =
21
