Question

Divide 4 2/3 & 3 1/3. Simplify the answer and write it as a mixed number.

Answer 1

Answer:

4 2/3 ÷ 3 1/3= 1 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you turn the mixed terms into an improper fraction like this

4 2/3 → 14/3 because when you multiply 4 times 3 equaling 12 then having 2 then adding that you get 14/3.

3 1/3 → 10/3 because when you multiply 3*3=9 then having 1 and adding that you get 10/3.

Then, you do KCF which stands for Keep Change Flip so for this you would do: 14/3 ÷ 10/3 → 14/3 × 3/10

14 × 3 = 42 and 3 × 10= 30

Now being 42/30 this is considered an improper fraction in which you have to transform it into a mixed number like this:

(For this you need to find the greatest common factor)

42/30 →  42 and 30 greatest common factor is 6 because they are divisible and factor of 6.

Now you divide both the denominator and the numerator y 6 like this:

42 ÷ 6= 7

30 ÷ 6= 5

Now we have 7/5, this is still an improper number so we see how many times 7 can go to 5 which is once. So we have 1 as whole number, now we put the reminder as the numenator of the mix fraction keeping 5 as being the denominator.

Overall, We have our answer 1 2/5

I hope this helps :D
