Question

5 1/2 divided by 1 3/8

Answer 1

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Convert from mixed number to fraction

$5\frac{1}{2} =\frac{5(2)+1}{2} =\frac{11}{2}$

$1\frac{3}{8}=\frac{(1)(8)+3}{8} =\frac{11}{8}$

2. Divide fractions

$\frac{\frac{11}{2} }{\frac{11}{8} } =\frac{(11)(8)}{(11)(2)} =\frac{8}{2} =4$
