Question

4 & 7/8 divided by 1 & 1/6

Answer 1

Answer:

$4 \frac{5}{28}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$4 \frac{7}{8} \div 1 \frac{1}{6}$

Convert the mixed numbers above to improper fractions

$= \frac{39}{8} \div \frac{7}{6}$

Rule of basic operation states that when dividing fractions, the division sign changes to multiplication sign thus turn the right hand side of the fraction inversely such that 7/6 becomes 6/7.

$= \frac{39}{8} \times \frac{6}{7}$

$= \frac{39 \times 6}{8 \times 7}$

$= \frac{234}{56}$

Converting the answer above to mixed number result to:

$= 4 \frac{5}{28}$
