What is 4/10 Divided by 32?
Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 4/10, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 32:
Numerator of the dividend: 4
Denominator of the dividend: 10
Whole number and divisor: 32
So, what is 4/10 Divided by 32? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 4/10 Divided by 32, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
4
10
÷
32
\frac{4}{10} ÷ 32
10 4 ÷ 32
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 10, by the whole number 32:
10 x 32 = 320
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:
320/4 = 80/1
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,
4 divided by 10/32 =
80
