What is 12/3 Divided by 80?
Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 12/3, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 80:
Numerator of the dividend: 12
Denominator of the dividend: 3
Whole number and divisor: 80
So, what is 12/3 Divided by 80? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 12/3 Divided by 80, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
12
3
÷
80
\frac{12}{3} ÷ 80
3 12 ÷ 80
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 3, by the whole number 80:
3 x 80 = 240
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:
240/12 = 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,
12 divided by 3/80 =
20
