Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 3/11, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 9:
Numerator of the dividend: 3
Denominator of the dividend: 11
Whole number and divisor: 9
So, what is 3/11 Divided by 9? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 3/11 Divided by 9, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
3
11
÷
9
\frac{3}{11} ÷ 9
11 3 ÷ 9
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 11, by the whole number 9:
11 x 9 = 99
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:
99/3 = 33/1
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,
3 divided by 11/9 =
33
