Question

23 over.30 ÷20 over 24

Answer 1

I'm assuming that you want to divide the fraction 23/0.3 by the fraction 20/24.

First of all, the fraction 20/24 can be simplified, since both numerator and denominator are multiple of 4:

`(20)/(24) = (5)/(6)`

Secondly, dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by the inverse of the fraction, i.e. if you have to divide by a/b, it's the same as multiplying by b/a.

So, we have

`(23)/(0.3) / (5)/(6) = (23)/(0.3) * (6)/(5)`

We can cross simplify 6 and 0.3 to have

`(23)/(0.3) * (6)/(5) = (23)/(0.1) * (2)/(5) = (46)/(0.5) = 92`

Answer 2

Remark

Don't try and do this all at once. Break it down, otherwise you'll have layers and brackets all over the place.

Step One

Find 23/0.3

X = 23/0.3 = 76.7

Step Two

Now Divide by 20

x1 = 76.7 / 20

x1 = 3.83

Step Three

Take this result and put it over 24

x2 = x1/24

x2 = 3.83 / 24

x2 = 0.1597 <<<< Answer
