Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 9/3, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 81:
Numerator of the dividend: 9
Denominator of the dividend: 3
Whole number and divisor: 81
So, what is 9/3 Divided by 81? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 9/3 Divided by 81, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
9
3
÷
81
\frac{9}{3} ÷ 81
3 9 ÷ 81
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 3, by the whole number 81:
3 x 81 = 243
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:
243/9 = 27/1
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,
9 divided by 3/81 =
27
