Fractions as Divisors - Examples, Exercises and Solutions

First, let's write out the division exercise:

$9:13$

Now let's write it as a simple fraction, remembering that the numerator is on top and the denominator is on the bottom:

$\frac{9}{13}$

First, let's write the division exercise:

$2:3$

Now let's write it as a simple fraction, remembering that the numerator is on top and the denominator is on the bottom:

$\frac{2}{3}$

Firstly, let's write out the division exercise:

$2:5$

Now, let's write it out again as a simple fraction, remembering that the numerator is on top and the denominator is on the bottom:

$\frac{2}{5}$

First, we will divide the numerator and denominator by the highest number that both are divisible by.

In this case, the number is 13.

Then we will divide the fraction as follows:

$\frac{13:13}{13:13}=\frac{1}{1}=1$

First we will divide the numerator and denominator by the highest number that both are divisible by.

In this case, the number is 29.

Then we will divide the fraction as follows:

$\frac{29:29}{29:29}=\frac{1}{1}=1$

First we will divide the numerator and denominator by the highest number that both are divisible by.

In this case, the number is 2

Then we will divide the fraction as follows:

$\frac{2:2}{18:2}=\frac{1}{9}$

First we will divide the numerator and denominator by the highest number that both are divisible by.

In this case, the number is 5.

Then we will divide the fraction as follows:

$\frac{10:5}{5:5}=\frac{2}{1}=2$

First we will divide the numerator and denominator by the highest number that both are divisible by.

In this case, the number is 7.

Then we will divide the fraction as follows:

$\frac{56:7}{7:7}=\frac{8}{1}=8$

Let's begin by writing the division exercise:

$5:9$

We can now proceed to write it as a simple fraction, remembering that the numerator is on top and the denominator is on the bottom:

$\frac{5}{9}$

Let's begin:

Step 1: Upon examination, the diagram divides the rectangle into 7 vertical sections.

Step 2: The entire shaded region spans the full width, essentially covering all sections, so the shaded number is 7.

Step 3: The fraction of the total rectangle that is shaded is $\frac{7}{7}$.

Step 4: Simplifying, $\frac{7}{7}$ becomes $1$.

Therefore, the solution is marked by the choice: Answers a + b.

Let's remember that the numerator is the number at the top of the fraction, whilst the denominator is the number at the bottom of the fraction.

If we arrange the given values accordingly we should obtain the following:

$\frac{2}{9}$

Let's remember that the numerator is the number at the top of the fraction , whilst the denominator is the number at the bottom of the fraction.

If we insert the given values accordingly we should obtain the following:

$\frac{3}{8}$

Let's solve this problem step-by-step:

First, examine the grid and count the total number of sections. Observing the grid, there is a total of 6 columns, each representing equal-sized portions along the grid, as evidenced by vertical lines.

Next, count how many of these sections are colored. The entire portion from the first column to the fourth column is colored. This means we have 4 out of 6 sections that are marked red.

We can then express the colored area as a fraction: $\frac{4}{6}$.

Let's write out the division exercise:

$8:13$

Now let's write it as a simple fraction, remembering that the numerator is on top and the denominator is on the bottom:

$\frac{8}{13}$

Note that the numerator is smaller than the denominator:

11 > 8

As a result, it can be written like this:

\frac{11}{8} > 1

Therefore, the quotient in the division problem is not less than 1.
