First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 18/9, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 5:
Numerator of the dividend: 18
Denominator of the dividend: 9
Whole number and divisor: 5
So what is 18/9 Divided by 5? Let’s work through the problem, and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
