Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 4/5, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 4:
Numerator of the dividend: 4
Denominator of the dividend: 5
Whole number and divisor: 4
So, what is 4/5 Divided by 4? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 4/5 Divided by 4, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
4
5
÷
4
\frac{4}{5} ÷ 4
5 4 ÷ 4
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 5, by the whole number 4:
5 x 4 = 20
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:
20/4 = 5/1
A fraction that has 1 as its denominator is an improper fraction. So, we should simplify this to just the numerator. Since the numerator is a whole number, there is no reason to write the answer in decimal form.
So,
4 divided by 5/4 =
5
