Question

How do you divide mixed fractions​

Answer 1

Answer:

See my explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start with two random mixed numbers.

$4\frac{3}{5}$ ÷ $5\frac{1}{4}$

The first step is starting with $4\frac{3}{5}$. Think about going from the denominator to the number on the left. After you remember that rule multiply 4 by 5. You should get 20. After that, you add by the numerator. 20 + 3=23

This is how it would be written.

$\frac{23}{5}$

Do the same for the next mixed number. 5 x 4 = 20 and add by the numerator 21.

$\frac{21}{4}$

After this is done. You will multiply by those fractions. $\frac{23}{5}$ x $\frac{21}{4}$ = $\frac{483}{20}$ we would write it as $24\frac{3}{20}$ as a mixed fraction.

I hope this helps!
