Problem: Calculate 18/5 divided by 1/20.
Step 1:
Identify the numerator and denominator of both fractions (dividend and divisor):
Numerator of the dividend: 18
Denominator of the dividend: 5
Numerator of the divisor: 1
Denominator of the divisor: 20
Step 2: Set up the problem:
\[ \frac{18}{5} \div \frac{1}{20} \]Step 3: Follow these steps:
a. Multiply the numerator of the dividend (18) by the denominator of the divisor (20):
\[ 18 \times 20 = 360 \]
b. Multiply the denominator of the dividend (5) by the numerator of the divisor (1):
\[ 5 \times 1 = 5 \]
c. Create the fraction of the answer:
\[ \frac{360}{5} \]
This simplifies to:
\[ \frac{72}{1} \]
72/1 is an improper fraction which can be simply written as 72. So, 18/5 divided by 1/20 equals 72.
