Q:

What is 5/20 Divided by 19/2?

Accepted Solution

A:

Understanding fraction division may sometimes appear as tricky, but it's based on simple mathematical principles. Let's consider the problem 'What is 5/20 divided by 19/2?'.

The first essential step is to break down our problem into four integral parts:

  • Numerator of the dividend: 5
  • Denominator of the dividend: 20
  • Numerator of the divisor: 19
  • Denominator of the divisor: 2

Let's now perform the fractions division step-by-step:

  1. \(5 \times 2 = 10\) (Multiply the numerator of the dividend by the denominator of the divisor)
  2. \(20 \times 19 = 380\) (Multiply the denominator of the dividend by the numerator of the divisor)
  3. \(\frac{10}{380} = \frac{1}{38}\) (These calculations result in the final fraction answer)

To end, let us convert the answer to decimal form: \( \frac{10}{380}= 0.026\).

Therefore, 5/20 divided by 19/2 is equal to 0.026 in decimals and 1/38 in fraction form.
