First let’s set up the problem:
2017÷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:
1720⋅2=1740 To display the answer to 17/20 Divided by 2 in decimal form, you can divide the numerator, 40, by the denominator, 17. The answer can be rounded to the nearest three decimal points, if needed:
1740=1740=2.35 So, in decimal form, 17 divided by 20/2 = 2.35
And in its simplest fractional form, 17 divided by 20/2 is 40/17
