First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the whole number, 3, which is also the dividend, and the fraction, or the divisor, can be broken down into its numerator, 15, and its denominator, 4:
Whole number and dividend: 3
Numerator of the divisor: 15
Denominator of the divisor: 4
So, what is 3 divided by 15/4? Let’s work through the problem, and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
