5 ?
OpenStudy (mrnood):
if you divide something into five parts (i.e. into 'fifths') how many oyu got?
YES its five
so in NINE things - each divided into 5 parts how many parts you got?
OpenStudy (abdullahm):

Okay thanks what do I do next ?
OpenStudy (abdullahm):
So now the formula for dividing fractions
\(\large\bf\frac {a}{b}\div \frac {c}{d} = \frac {a}{b}\times \frac {d}{c} =\frac {ad}{bc}\)
OpenStudy (cail):
I don't understand
OpenStudy (cail):
Is it b ?
OpenStudy (abdullahm):
Just replace the variables with your numbers :)
A can be replaced by 48
B can be replaced by 5
C is replaced by 11
And d is replaced by 5

Don't forget to simplify the fractions before you multiply them.
OpenStudy (cail):
48/5 divided by 11/5 = 48/5 x 5/11 = ?
OpenStudy (abdullahm):
Correct, amd you can simplify the fractions by dividing the 5 from the numerator and the denominator.
OpenStudy (abdullahm):
And*
OpenStudy (cail):

Make 48/11 into a mixed fraction.
