Question

2 3/4 divided by 3. What is the quotient and what is it in lowest terms?

Answer 1

Answer:

  11/12

Step-by-step explanation:

2 3/4 = 2·(4/4) + 3/4 = (8/4) +(3/4) = (8+3)/4 = 11/4

Then your problem becomes ...

  (11/4) / 3 = (11/4) · (1/3) = (11·1)/(4·3) = 11/12

___

The numerator and denominator have no common factors, so this is lowest terms.
