What is 3/2 Divided by 78?
Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 3/2, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 78:
Numerator of the dividend: 3
Denominator of the dividend: 2
Whole number and divisor: 78
So, what is 3/2 Divided by 78? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 3/2 Divided by 78, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
3
2
÷
78
\frac{3}{2} ÷ 78
2 3 ÷ 78
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 2, by the whole number 78:
2 x 78 = 156
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:
156/3 = 52/1
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 2/78 =
52
