What is 2/11 Divided by 2?
Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 2/11, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 2:
Numerator of the dividend: 2
Denominator of the dividend: 11
Whole number and divisor: 2
So, what is 2/11 Divided by 2? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 2/11 Divided by 2, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
2
11
÷
2
\frac{2}{11} ÷ 2
11 2 ÷ 2
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 11, by the whole number 2:
11 x 2 = 22
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:
22/2 = 11/1
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,
2 divided by 11/2 =
11
