What is 10/5 Divided by 74?
Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 10/5, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 74:
Numerator of the dividend: 10
Denominator of the dividend: 5
Whole number and divisor: 74
So, what is 10/5 Divided by 74? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 10/5 Divided by 74, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
10
5
÷
74
\frac{10}{5} ÷ 74
5 10 ÷ 74
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 5, by the whole number 74:
5 x 74 = 370
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:
370/10 = 37/1
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,
10 divided by 5/74 =
37
