Question

Simplify this complex fraction 1 2/3 divided by 2 1/9

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{5}{3} \times\frac{9}{19}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to simplify this equation you need to convert these whole number fractions into improper fractions and then use KCF. (Keep, Change, Flip)

$1\frac{2}{3} \div2\frac{1}{9}$

Convert into improper fractions:

$1\frac{2}{3} = 3\times1+2=\frac{5}{3}$

$2\frac{1}{9} =9\times2+1=\frac{19}{9}$

(Remember to keep the denominators the same)

$\frac{5}{3} \div\frac{19}{9}$

Now use KCF

$\frac{5}{3} \div\frac{19}{9} = \frac{5}{3} \times\frac{9}{19}$

$= \frac{5}{3} \times\frac{9}{19}$

Hope this helps.
