What is 1/3 Divided by 49?
Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 1/3, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 49:
Numerator of the dividend: 1
Denominator of the dividend: 3
Whole number and divisor: 49
So, what is 1/3 Divided by 49? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 1/3 Divided by 49, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
1
3
÷
49
\frac{1}{3} ÷ 49
3 1 ÷ 49
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 3, by the whole number 49:
3 x 49 = 147
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:
147/1 = 147/1
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,
1 divided by 3/49 =
147
