Accepted Solution
To do the arithmetic operation, first, recognize each component: the fraction (18/7), and the whole number (9). Assume the fraction as a dividend and the whole number as a divisor.
Now, find out what is 18/7 divided by 9. Here's a walkthrough:
Start by setting the fraction and the divisor:
"\( \frac{18}{7} ÷ 9 \)"
First step, multiply the whole number (9) by the fraction's denominator or the divisor's denominator (7):
"\( 7 \times 9 = 63 \)"
The resulting product will serve as the answer's denominator:
"\( \frac{7 \cdot 9}{18} = \frac{63}{18} \)
As for the decimal format, divvy up the numerator (63) by the denominator (18) and round off the result to the third decimal place:
"\( \frac{63}{18} = \frac{7}{2}= 3.5 \)"
Therefore, \( \frac{18}{7} ÷ 9 = 3.5 \) in decimal form and 7/2 in fraction form. Practice with similar problems to reinforce your understanding.
