11
÷
8
20
11 ÷ \frac{8}{20}
11 ÷ 20 8
Step 1:
Take the whole number, 11, and multiply it by the denominator of the fraction, 20:
11 x 20 = 220
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:
11
⋅
20
8
=
220
