Divide Fractions by Whole Numbers - Word Problems
Practice Preview
A stone merchant received a shipment of
2
3
of a pound of stones. He divided the stones into 8 equal lots and sold them to jewelers for making rings and necklaces. What was the weight of the diamonds in each lot?
(Solve and reduce the fraction.)
Explanation
2/3 ÷ 8
2/3 ÷ 8/1
Keep the first fraction as it is. Change division sign to multiplication and flip the second fraction.
2/3 x 1/8
Now, it can be done as multiplication of fractions.
Multiply both numerators together to get new numerator and multiply both denominators together to get new denominator
= (2 x 1)/(3 x 8)
= 2/24
That can be simplified to
=1/12
