First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 12/1, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 15:
Numerator of the dividend: 12
Denominator of the dividend: 1
Whole number and divisor: 15
So what is 12/1 Divided by 15? Let’s work through the problem, and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
