How to work 2 4/9 divided by 11/9

Answer 1

Hi!

First, let's convert $2 \frac{4}{9}$ to a fraction instead of a mixed number.
To do this, multiply the whole number by the denominator, then add the numerator. That's your new numerator, the denominator stays the same. 

9 x 2 = 18
18 + 4 = 22
$\frac{22}{9}$

Now when dividing fractions, multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. (the reciprocal is the upside down version of the fraction)

$\frac{22}{9} * \frac{9}{11}$
22 x 9 = 198
9 x 11 = 99

$\frac{198}{99}$ (simplify:) 2

The answer is 2 :)

Hope this helps! :)
