Dividing a whole number and an improper fraction seems tricky, but it just has one or two more steps than the normal process. First, convert the whole number "9" into a fraction by giving it a denominator of "1". It should look like 9/1. Now that both numbers are converted into like formats (improper fractions), you should have 9/1 divided by 5/3.
Second, flip 5/3 over into 3/5 - this is the "reciprocal". Now you have 9/1 divided by 3/5. It's just a matter of multiplying across the math sentence. Multiply the numerators (9x3) and the denominators (1 x 5). Your new fraction should be 27/5. This is your answer in the improper fraction format.
You can create other formats depending on the expected answer. For a mixed number, "divide your fraction UP" (27 divided by 5) which gives you 5 and 2/5. This can be further converted into 5.4 if you need your answer in decimal form.
Answer:

Answer:
B 3.78 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
On the graph, the line ends when it hits (0,3.78) This means that the object was in the air for 3.78 seconds before hitting the ground (0 height)
A = -6
order of operations does division first, but you have to know that you must add -1 to 9 in order to get 8. Therefore, you must have a negative number over 6 and it has to be -6 in order for that negative number to be -1
