Question

8 1/3 divided by x=2 1/3 divided by 8.1

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Divide 8 1/3 by 2 to find the value of x:

Turn 8 1/3 into an improper fraction:

$8 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{3} + \frac{3}{3} + \frac{3}{3} + \frac{3}{3} + \frac{3}{3} + \frac{3}{3} + \frac{3}{3} + \frac{3}{3} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{25}{3}$

$\frac{25}{3} \div \frac{2}{1} = ?$

Find the reciprocal (opposite) of 2/1, then multiply:

$\frac{25}{3} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{25}{6} = \frac{6}{6} + \frac{6}{6} + \frac{6}{6} + \frac{6}{6} + \frac{1}{6} = 4 \frac{1}{6}$

x = 25/6 or 4 1/6

2. 8.1 can be put over 1:

Turn 2 1/3 into an improper fraction:

$2 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{3} + \frac{3}{3} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{7}{3}$

$\frac{7}{3} \div \frac{8.1}{1} = ?$

Find the reciprocal (opposite) of 8.1/1, then multiply:

$\frac{7}{3} \times \frac{1}{8.1} = \frac{7}{24.3}$

7/24.3 is your simplified answer.
