First let’s set up the problem:
2012÷5 Step 1:
Take the whole number, 5, and multiply it by the denominator of the fraction, 20:
20 x 5 = 100
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⋅5=12100 To display the answer to 12/20 Divided by 5 in decimal form, you can divide the numerator, 100, by the denominator, 12. The answer can be rounded to the nearest three decimal points, if needed:
12100=325=8.33 So, in decimal form, 12 divided by 20/5 = 8.33
And in its simplest fractional form, 12 divided by 20/5 is 25/3
