Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 5/10, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 59:
Numerator of the dividend: 5
Denominator of the dividend: 10
Whole number and divisor: 59
So, what is 5/10 Divided by 59? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 5/10 Divided by 59, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
5
10
÷
59
\frac{5}{10} ÷ 59
10 5 ÷ 59
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 10, by the whole number 59:
10 x 59 = 590
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:
590/5 = 118/1
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,
5 divided by 10/59 =
118
