Question

I need help with both of these questions please

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{22}{30} = \frac{11}{15}$

and

$\frac{176}{7} = 25 \frac{1}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First make all the fractions into improper fractions

$1\frac{5}{6} = \frac{11}{6} \\\\2\frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{2} \\\\3\frac{1}{7} = \frac{22}{7}$

After doing that put them back into the problems

Problem 1)

$1\frac{5}{6}$  ÷ $2\frac{1}{2}$ , plug in the improper fractions

$\frac{11}{6}$ ÷ $\frac{5}{2}$

to divide, you need to flip the second fraction and multiply

$\frac{11}{6}$· $\frac{2}{5}$ = $\frac{22}{30}$

then reduce

$\frac{22}{30} = \frac{11}{15}$

Problem 2)

$3\frac{1}{7}$÷ $\frac{1}{8}$

Plug in improper fraction

$\frac{22}{7}$ ÷ $\frac{1}{8}$

Then flip second fraction and multiply

$\frac{22}{7}$ · $\frac{8}{1}$

Multiply

$\frac{176}{7}$

Reduce, or make it a mixed number

$\frac{176}{7} = 25 \frac{1}{7}$
