What is 2 Divided by 1/11?

Understanding and calculating division problems involving fractions can seem intimidating at first, especially when fractions serve as the divisor. Let's illustrate this with a practical example: What is 2 divided by 1/11?

Unpack the problem:

First, we need to break down our problem into smaller parts. We have:

• The dividend : \(2\)
• The numerator of the divisor : \(1\)
• The denominator of the divisor : \(11\)

Solve step-by-step:

Set up the problem as: \[2 \div \frac{1}{11}\] First, multiply 2 (our whole number) with 11 (denominator of the fraction) which gives \(2 \times 11 = 22\). Secondly, replace your divisor's numerator with the result you get thus: \[22(\frac{1}{1}) = 22 \] Because fractions with 1 as their denominators are equivalent to the numerator, your answer is simply 22. Used mathematically, the whole sentence reads: 2 divided by 1/11 equals 22.
