What is 2/3 Divided by 32?
Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 2/3, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 32:
Numerator of the dividend: 2
Denominator of the dividend: 3
Whole number and divisor: 32
So, what is 2/3 Divided by 32? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 2/3 Divided by 32, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
2
3
÷
32
\frac{2}{3} ÷ 32
3 2 ÷ 32
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 3, by the whole number 32:
3 x 32 = 96
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:
96/2 = 48/1
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,
2 divided by 3/32 =
48
