Question

what is 8 3/4 divided by 2 1/6?
express in simplest form.

Answer 1

To divide fractions, first change each fraction to an improper fraction

Answer 2

ok that would be 32/4 and 6/13 i think

Answer 3

6/13 is right, for 8 3/4 remember to add the 3 to the numerator too, so it'll be 35/4

Answer 4

So you'll have 35/4 divided by 13/6 (sorry forgot to mention that)

Answer 5

Then change the problem to multiplication by finding the reciprocal of the second fraction (which was your 6/13). Then just multiply both the top numbers, and then both the bottom numbers

Answer 6

kk thanks u so much

Answer 7

Your welcome :) and then just remember to simplify

Answer 8

it would be 4 and 2 over something i think

Answer 9

@kobeni-chan i dont know what the bottom number is or i got the top number wrong but i think its 4 and 2/something? im confused

Answer 10

Ok so I multiplied them and got 210/52. (35 x 6 = 210, 4 x 13 = 52)
then to simplify, I divided both numbers 210 and 52 by 2

Answer 11

so it would be 4 2/52?

Answer 12

I think so.

Answer 13

yeah
