Answer:
6/11 divided by 2 2/3 (=9/44)
2/7 divided by 4/5 (=5/14 or 15/42 scaled up)
1 6/7 divided by 3 (= 13/21 or 26/42 scaled up)
3/10 divided by 1/8 (=2 2/5)
Step-by-step explanation:
You cannot divide a fraction by a fraction. Instead, multiply by the reciprocal ( flip it)
2/7 divided by 4/5= 2/7 x 5/4
Multiply straight across the top, 2x5= 10
10 is the numerator
Now multiply straight across the bottom.
7x4= 28
28 is the denominator.
10/28 is the answer to this problem, however it can be simplified. Both 10 and 28 are divisible by 2. This simplifies to 5/14.
For mixed numbers, you first have to make them improper fractions.
Ex: 2 2/3
Take the denominator (3) multiply it by the whole number (2) and add the numerator (2)
3x2=6 (now add the remaining 2 from the numerator) 6+2= 8. 8 is your new numerator and you will keep the existing denominator of 3 making the improper fraction 8/3.
