Question

What is 2 3/7 divided 5 1/5

Answer 1

In order to find the answer to this question you must change the mixed number into improper fractions (you do that by multiplying the denominator to the whole number then add the numerator and keep the denominator the same) then repeat the same rules you would do when dividing normal fractions. (use KCF) Then you solve.

`2(3)/(7) / 5(1)/(5)`

`2(3)/(7) = (17)/(7)`

`5(1)/(5) = (26)/(5)`

`(17)/(7) /(26)/(5) =`

`(17)/(7) *(5)/(26)`

`17 * 5 =85`

`7 * 26 = 182`

`= (85)/(182)`

Therefore your answer is "85/182."

Hope this helps.
