Question

8 divide by 1 1/4 KCF

Answer 1

Answer:

32/5

Step-by-step explanation:

K=Keep the first Fraction (You can rewrite 8 as 8/1 for when you multiply across.)

C=Change the Division Sign to a Multiplication Sign

F=Flip the Second Fraction

First, rewrite 1 1/4 as 5/4 (A mixed number can be changed to a fraction by multiplying the outside whole number by the denominator or bottom number of the fraction, then add the new rewritten whole number and the original fractional piece. In this case you would multiply the outside 1 by the bottom 4 and add it to the original 1/4. 4/4+1/4=5/4)

Second, Flip 5/4 to 4/5 and change your equation so it now reads: 8/1 x 4/5

Third, use simple fraction multiplication and multiply across to get 8/1 x 4/5=32/5
