Question

The smartest person can only help with the method please help 3 1/4 divided by 2

Answer 1

Answer:

13/8 = 1 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

first make 3 1/4 into an improper fraction

3 1/4 = (3*4+1)/4 = 13/4

13/4 /2

we know that dividing by a number is multiplying by its reciprocal, so

(13/4)/2 = 13/4 * (1/2)

multiply the numerators together, and multiply the denominators together

13/4 * (1/2) = (13*1)/(4*2) = 13/8 = 1 5/8
