Question

What is the answer to 3 2/5÷4 1/3

Answer 1

3 and 2/5 ÷ 4 and 1/3
The first step before you can divide these is that you must make them improper fractions, they cannot be mixed numbers.

3 = 3/1 = 15/5
15/5 + 2/5 = 17/5
3 and 2/5 = 17/5

4 = 4/1 = 12/3
12/3 + 1/3 = 13/3
4 and 1/3 = 13/3

Now you can divide 17/5 and 13/3.

Step 1- Turn the fraction you are dividing by into its reciprocal.
13/3 reciprocal equals 3/13

Step 2- Multiply.
17/5 • 3/13
17 • 3 = 51
5 • 13 = 65
Answer: 51/65

Step 3- Simplify if possible.
51/65
This is already in simplest form so there is no need to simplify.

So the answer is 51/65.
