Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 19/5, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 38:
Numerator of the dividend: 19
Denominator of the dividend: 5
Whole number and divisor: 38
So, what is 19/5 Divided by 38? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 19/5 Divided by 38, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
19
5
÷
38
\frac{19}{5} ÷ 38
5 19 ÷ 38
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 5, by the whole number 38:
5 x 38 = 190
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:
190/19 = 10/1
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,
19 divided by 5/38 =
