Question

What is 5 1/6 divided by (2 2/3 multiplied by 1 3/8)

Answer 1

So first you need your denominators to be the same so you can multiply. They share a common denominator of 24. 2/3 equals 16/24 and 2/8 equals 9/24. So now you need to turn your fractions into mixed numbers and multiply. Which equals 2112/576. That # is way to big so then you simplify and get 11/3. so now you have 5 and 1/6 divided by 11/3. So now just flip the second fraction multiply it by its reciprocal. 31/6 X 3/11=___. So your final answer is 1 and 9/22
