Question

Divide: (1 1/5) divided (14/25)

Answer 1

mixed number divided by a fraction?

Answer 2

Multiply (11/5)*(25/14)

Answer 3

@completeidiot Yes, I believe so

Answer 4

first convert the mixed number into an improper fraction

Answer 5

@L-Lawliet-L No its divided, 1 and 1/5 divided by 14/25

Answer 6

then use the fact that dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal as @L-Lawliet-L showed

ex.

\[\frac{a}{b} \div \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{d}{c}\]

Answer 7

\[\frac{ 11 }{ 5 }\div \frac{ 14 }{ 25 }=\frac{ 11 }{ 5 }\times \frac{ 25 }{ 14 }\]

Answer 8

its not eleven fifths, its one and one fifth

Answer 9

@L-Lawliet-L Its one and one
fifths

Answer 10

anyways
@taylorwristshot
convert
\[1 \frac{1}{5}\]
into a improper fraction and what do you get?

Answer 11

@completeidiot That would be 6/5, six fifths

Answer 12

right
so the problem is now
\[\frac{6}{5} \div \frac{14}{25}\]

now, dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by a reciprocal
which means the above expression is the same as the expression below

\[\frac{6}{5} \times \frac{25}{14}\]

Answer 13

can you solve the expression now?

Answer 14

@completeidiot Yes, wouldn't that make it 2 10/70?

Answer 15

yea

i would simplify the fraction though

Answer 16

Yes, I did. Thank you! @completeidiot
