So, what is 60 divided by 16/2? Let’s work through the problem, and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 60 Divided by 16/2, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
60
÷
16
2
60 ÷ \frac{16}{2}
60 ÷ 2 16
Step 1:
Take the whole number, 60, and multiply it by the denominator of the fraction, 2:
60 x 2 = 120
Step 2:
The numerator of the fraction will now become the denominator of the answer. The answer to the problem in fraction form can now be seen:
60
⋅
2
16
=
120
16
\frac{ 60 \cdot 2 }{16} = \frac{120}{16}
16 60 ⋅ 2 = 16 120
