Question

5 3/5 divided 2 2/3 jlll

Answer 1

Answer:

7/1 or 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Turn 2 2/3 into an improper fraction:

$2\frac{2}{3} =\frac{3}{3} +\frac{3}{3}+\frac{2}{3}=\frac{8}{3}$

Turn 5 3/5 into an improper fraction:

$5\frac{3}{5} =\frac{5}{5} +\frac{5}{5} +\frac{5}{5} +\frac{5}{5} +\frac{5}{5} +\frac{3}{5} = \frac{28}{3}$

Find the reciprocal (opposite) of 8/3, then multiply:

$\frac{28}{3} \times\frac{3}{8} =\frac{84}{24}$

Divide 84/24 by 12:

$\frac{84\div12}{12\div12} = \frac{7}{1}$

Your simplified answer is 7/1, or 7.
