Question

3 2/3 divided by 2 2/4

Answer 1

Answer:

3 2/3 divided by 2 2/4 equals 1 7/15

Explanation:

In order to divide one mixed fraction by another, we'll need to convert them into improper fractions! To do this, multiply the denominator by the whole number on the right, and then add the numerator, and put your answer over the original denominator!

3 2/3

3 x 3 + 2 = 11

3 2/3 = 11/3

2 2/4

4 x 2 + 2 = 10

2 2/4 = 10/4

Now, we have 11/3 divided by 10/4. We just need to multiply, and flip the second fraction!

11/3 divided by 10/4 = 11/3 times 4/10

11/3 x 4/10 = 44/30

Now, we just need to simplify 44/30, because it is an improper fraction!

30 goes into 44 one time, with a remainder of 14!

44/30 = 1 14/30

We can multiply 1 14/30, because 14 and 30 are both divisible by 2!

1 14/30 = 1 7/15

Hope this helps! :)
