Question

3/4 ÷ 5 1/2 please explain the steps

Answer 1

The easiest way to do it is to make the numbers into decimals.  All you need to do is divide them.

To convert 3/4 into a decimal just divide 3 by 4.

3 / 4 = .75

To get 5  1/2 into a decimal just ignore the 5 for now and divide the 1 by 2.

1 / 2 = .5

Now add the 5 back on and you have 5.5

So far you have converted the equation from (3/4) / 5 1/2 to .75 / 5.5

Now just divide .75 by 5.5

.75 / 5.5 = 1.136 with the 36 repeated
