First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 8/16, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 29:
Numerator of the dividend: 8
Denominator of the dividend: 16
Whole number and divisor: 29
So, what is 8/16 Divided by 29? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 8/16 Divided by 29, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
8
16
÷
29
\frac{8}{16} ÷ 29
16 8 ÷ 29
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 16, by the whole number 29:
16 x 29 = 464
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:
464/8 = 58/1
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,
8 divided by 16/29 =
