First let’s set up the problem:
217÷50 Step 1:
Take the whole number, 50, and multiply it by the denominator of the fraction, 2:
2 x 50 = 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:
172⋅50=17100 To display the answer to 17/2 Divided by 50 in decimal form, you can divide the numerator, 100, by the denominator, 17. The answer can be rounded to the nearest three decimal points, if needed:
17100=17100=5.88 So, in decimal form, 17 divided by 2/50 = 5.88
And in its simplest fractional form, 17 divided by 2/50 is 100/17
