Answer:

1/21 * 7 = 1/3

Explanation:

The numbers in 1/3 divided by 7 are labeled below:

  • 1 = numerator
  • 3 = denominator
  • 7 = whole number

To make it a fraction form answer, you keep the numerator and multiply the denominator by the whole number to make a new denominator:

1

-------

3 x 7

=

1

-----

21

Thus, the answer to 1/3 divided by 7 in fraction form is:

1/21

To make the answer to 1/3 divided by 7 in decimal form, you simply divide the numerator by the denominator from the fraction answer above:

1/21 = 0.04761904761

1/21 * 7 = 0.3333333333.... ( 1/3 )
