Question

2. Evaluate the following mixed numbers, then simplify. 7 1/2 divide 1 1/8

Answer 1

When you divide you get 6.666667 then in fraction it is 20/3 so in mix number 6 2/3.

Answer 2

Either use a calculator or convert into improper fractions

7 1/2=15/2
1 1/8=9/8

so now do 15/2 divided by 9/8

turn 9/8 into reciprocal
its gonna be 8/9
then multiply

15/2 times 8/9

15*8=120
2*9=18

120/18 is your answer but simplify it or else teachers will be annoying

simplify it by 6 cause its the gcf (greatest common factor)

120/6=20
18/6=3

20/3 is ur answer as improper fraction
6 2/3 is ur answer as whole number
6.6 repeating is ur decimal

hope this helps
