First let’s set up the problem:
2012÷2 Step 1:
Take the whole number, 2, and multiply it by the denominator of the fraction, 20:
20 x 2 = 40
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:
1220⋅2=1240 To display the answer to 12/20 Divided by 2 in decimal form, you can divide the numerator, 40, by the denominator, 12. The answer can be rounded to the nearest three decimal points, if needed:
1240=310=3.33 So, in decimal form, 12 divided by 20/2 = 3.33
And in its simplest fractional form, 12 divided by 20/2 is 10/3
