14
÷
16
9
14 ÷ \frac{16}{9}
14 ÷ 9 16
Step 1:
Take the whole number, 14, and multiply it by the denominator of the fraction, 9:
14 x 9 = 126
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:
14
⋅
9
16
=
126
16
\frac{ 14 \cdot 9 }{16} = \frac{126}{16}
16 14 ⋅ 9 = 16 126
