Question

Please help. Thanks 6

Answer 1

4 2/7 divided by 2 5/7

 

First, convert the values to improper fractions (multiply whole number by denominator of fractional part, then add the numerator of the fractional part).

 

     30/7 divided by 19/7

     (30/7) / (19/7)

 

Now, to divide by a fraction, invert the denominator and multiply:

 

     (30/7) * (7/19) 

       (30/19)             [the 7's cancel]

 

Convert the improper faction back to a mixed number (divide the denominator into the numerator to get the whole number, than put the remainder as the numerator of the fractional part.]

 

       1  11/19
