For instance, take a question: What is 87 Divided by 11/1?
Before calculating, let's understand the elements in the problem:
The whole number (87) also known as the dividend. On the other hand, the fraction (11/1) is the divisor, split into the numerator (11) and denominator (1).
Let's work out the problem: Step 1: Multiply the dividend (87) by the denominator of the divisor (1): \[87 \times 1 = 87\] Step 2:The numerator of the divisor becomes the denominator of the answer: \[\frac{87 \times 1}{11} = \frac{87}{11}\] To convert the answer into decimal form, divide the numerator (87) by the denominator (11). If necessary, the answer can be rounded to the nearest three decimal points: \[\frac{87}{11} = 7.91\] So, the decimal form of 87/11 is 7.91. Its simplest fraction form is 87/11.
