Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 3/17, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 6:
Numerator of the dividend: 3
Denominator of the dividend: 17
Whole number and divisor: 6
So, what is 3/17 Divided by 6? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 3/17 Divided by 6, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
3
17
÷
6
\frac{3}{17} ÷ 6
17 3 ÷ 6
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 17, by the whole number 6:
17 x 6 = 102
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:
102/3 = 34/1
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,
3 divided by 17/6 =
34
