First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 8/12, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 40:
Numerator of the dividend: 8
Denominator of the dividend: 12
Whole number and divisor: 40
So, what is 8/12 Divided by 40? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
