how do i do that? @kc_kennylau

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you so much @beccasmith

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

so 2 1/2 is basically 2+(1/2)

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

convert 2 into a fraction with the bottom part being 2

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

so basically 2 is 4/2

OpenStudy (beccasmith):

Your welcome

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

so 2+(1/2) is (4/2)+(1/2)

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

Which is (5/2)

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

so the question becomes 8 divided by 5/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks @kc_kennylau
