Answer:

45/28

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert them to mixed fractions

(2 * 4 + 1) / 4 ÷ (1 * 5 + 2) / 5

8 + 1 / 4 ÷ 5 + 2 / 5

9/4 ÷ 7/5

Flip the second fraction and flip the sign - to multiply.

9/4 × 5/7

9 × 5 = 45

4 × 7 = 28

45/28

This could be left as a fraction or converted to a number:

1.60714285714

Latrell bought 4 bags of powdered sugar. He got a total of 5 1/2 cups of sugar. How many cups of sugar were in each bag?

Stels [109]

So all 4 bags of sugar yielded 5 and 1/2 cups..... well.. how many in each one? well, let's split the 5 and 1/2 evenly in 4 pieces.

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{5}\frac{1}{2}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{11}{2}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{\quad\frac{11}{2} \quad }{4}\implies \cfrac{\quad\frac{11}{2} \quad }{\frac{4}{1}}\implies \cfrac{11}{2}\cdot \cfrac{1}{4}\implies \cfrac{11}{8}\implies \stackrel{cups}{1\frac{3}{8}
}$
