<span>5 1/6 x 1/3
</span>first convert 5 1/6 (which is a mixed fraction) into an improper fraction ...
=> 6*5+1/6 = 31/6
=>now we have ... 31/6 * 1/3
=> to multiply fractions we multiply the numerators ( top numbers ) with each other and the denominators (bottom numbers ) also the same way ...
=> 31/6 * 1/3 => 31*1 / 6*3 => 31/18 
=> then divide them to get answer as mixed fraction ..
=> 1 13/18  ..

<span>3 1/2 / 1 1/3
</span>=> here also first convert 3 1/2 and 1 1/3 into improper fractions ..
=> 3 1/2 => 2*3+1/2 => 7/2 
=> 1 1/3 => 3*1+1/3=> 4/3
=> now divide them ..
=> 7/2/4/3 
=> for dividing fractions we take the reciprocal of one fraction and then multiply ..
=> 7/2 * 3/4 
=> now multiply these two fractions ..
=> 7*3/2*4 => 21/8 
=> answer as mixed fraction = 2 5/8 ...

Hope it helps !!!

The entrance hall in Black's family house has a perimeter of 71 2/3 ft.IF it is 9 2/5 ft wide, how long is it?
serious [3.7K]

Answer: 26 13/30 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The hall is in the shape of a rectangle. The perimeter of a rectangle is:

= 2(length + width)

= 2l + 2w

Since perimeter = 71 2/3 ft and Width = 9 2/5 ft wide, the length will be calculated thus:

Perimeter = 2l + 2w

71⅔ = 2l + 2(9 2/5)

71 2/3 = 2l + (2 × 47/5)

71 2/3 = 2l + 94/5

71 2/3 = 2l + 18 4/5

Collect like terms

2l = 71 2/3 - 18 4/5

2l = 71 10/15 - 18 12/15

2l = 52 13/15

l = (52 13/15 ÷ 2)

l = 793/15 × 1/2

l = 793/30

l = 26 13/30

Therefore, the length is 26 13/30ft
