So, what is 6/18 Divided by 87? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 6/18 Divided by 87, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
6
18
÷
87
\frac{6}{18} ÷ 87
18 6 ÷ 87
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 18, by the whole number 87:
18 x 87 = 1566
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:
