Answer
3 3/8 ÷ (3/4) = (9/2) = 4 ½
Explanation
We are asked to evaluate 3 3/8 divided by 3/4 using cross multiplication algorithm.
The algorithm will need us to put the mixed fraction in definite fraction form (improper fraction) and to evaluate the division, we change the division sign into multiplication sign and the fraction after the division sign changes into its reciprocal.
3 3/8 = (27/8)
(3 3/8) ÷ (3/4)
= (27/8) ÷ (3/4)
Hope this Helps!!!
