So, what is 18/15 Divided by 6? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 18/15 Divided by 6, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
18
15
÷
6
\frac{18}{15} ÷ 6
15 18 ÷ 6
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 15, by the whole number 6:
15 x 6 = 90
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:
90/18 = 5/1
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,
18 divided by 15/6 =
