Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 20/4, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 85:
Numerator of the dividend: 20
Denominator of the dividend: 4
Whole number and divisor: 85
So, what is 20/4 Divided by 85? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 20/4 Divided by 85, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
20
4
÷
85
\frac{20}{4} ÷ 85
4 20 ÷ 85
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 4, by the whole number 85:
4 x 85 = 340
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:
340/20 = 17/1
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,
20 divided by 4/85 =
17
