Question

What is the Quotient of 1 and 2/3 divided by 2 and 3/5

Answer 1

Answer:

  25/39

Step-by-step explanation:

For division of mixed numbers, it often works well to first convert them to improper fractions. Then the division proceeds in the usual way: "invert and multiply", or "dot, swap."

  $1\dfrac{2}{3}\div2\dfrac{3}{5}=\dfrac{5}{3}\div\dfrac{13}{5}=\dfrac{5}{3}\cdot\dfrac{5}{13}\\\\=\dfrac{5\cdot5}{3\cdot13}=\boxed{\dfrac{25}{39}}$
