What is 6/5 Divided by 24?
Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 6/5, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 24:
Numerator of the dividend: 6
Denominator of the dividend: 5
Whole number and divisor: 24
So, what is 6/5 Divided by 24? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 6/5 Divided by 24, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
6
5
÷
24
\frac{6}{5} ÷ 24
5 6 ÷ 24
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 5, by the whole number 24:
5 x 24 = 120
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:
120/6 = 20/1
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,
6 divided by 5/24 =
20
