So, what is 18/9 Divided by 16? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 18/9 Divided by 16, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
18
9
÷
16
\frac{18}{9} ÷ 16
9 18 ÷ 16
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 9, by the whole number 16:
9 x 16 = 144
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:
