quotient of 22 3/4 and 1 7/l3

Question

I had the numbers as 223/4 and 17/13 which is not correct.

Answer 1

So it appears that you have two mixed numbers.

 

22 3/4 = 91/4

 

1 7/13 = 20/13

 

Our problem is now the quotient of 91/4 and 20/13

 

Using the principle "keep, change, flip," we keep the numerator the same, change the division sign to multiplication, and the flip the fraction in the denominator (meaning take the reciprocal). The problem now becomes:

 

91/4 * 13/20 = 1183/80 = 14 63/80
