First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 15/5, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 87:
Numerator of the dividend: 15
Denominator of the dividend: 5
Whole number and divisor: 87
So, what is 15/5 Divided by 87? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
