Question

What's 5 divided by 3 1/3?

Answer 1

Answer: 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start by converting 3 1/3 to an improper fraction. Since 3 is equal to 9/3, 3 1/3 would be equal to 9/3 + 1/3 = 10/3.

Therefore, we are doing $\frac{5}{\frac{10}{3}}$.

Dividing 5 by 10/3 is the same as multiplying 5 and the reciprocal of 10/3, which is 3/10.

5*3/10 = 15/10 = 3/2.
