: "Answer: Put 45 over 1, flip the second fraction (the reciprocal), and multiply straight across. Explanation: In other words, 45 can also be expressed as 45 over 1. It is easier to visualize the process if you write it this way. Also understand that when you divide a number by a fraction, it is the same as multiplying that number by the reciprocal of that fraction (reciprocals are just the fraction flipped, so the reciprocal of 5/11 is 11/5). So, simply shown: 45/1 * 11/5 = 495/5 Then reduce your product by dividing by 5: And your answer is : 99' http://socratic.org/questions/how-do-you-find-the-quotient-of-45-divided-by-5-11 Did you see what he did?
