Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 5/13, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 55:
Numerator of the dividend: 5
Denominator of the dividend: 13
Whole number and divisor: 55
So, what is 5/13 Divided by 55? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 5/13 Divided by 55, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
5
13
÷
55
\frac{5}{13} ÷ 55
13 5 ÷ 55
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 13, by the whole number 55:
13 x 55 = 715
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:
715/5 = 143/1
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,
5 divided by 13/55 =
143
