Question

1 5⁄7 ÷ 4 2⁄7 i am very stuck

Answer 1

Does this say 15/7 divided by 42/7?

Answer 2

First we need to make these two numbers into improper fractions

1 $\frac{5}{7}$ = $\frac{12}{7}$

4 $\frac{2}{7}$ = $\frac{30}{7}$

Now on the next step,

To divide a fraction by another fraction, we must flip the second number upside down.... watch

$\frac{12}{7}$ ÷ $\frac{7}{30}$ = then we change the divide ( ÷ ) sign to a multiplication ( × )

$\frac{12}{7}$ × $\frac{7}{30}$ = $\frac{84}{210}$

simplify

$\frac{84}{210}$  ⇒ $\frac{12}{30}$
