Question

What is 5 5/6 divided by 5 1/3?

i need help on it for my test tmr!

Answer 1

`1(3)/(32)`

Explanation:

`5(5)/(6)/ \:5(1)/(3)`

First, before anything else, we need to convert both mixed numbers to improper fractions. To do that, multiply the denominator to the whole number, then add the result to the numerator.

`5(5)/(6) = 6 *5 =30+5 = 35\\\\35`

`5(1)/(3) = 3 * 5 = 15+1 = 16\\\\16`

Now we can start solving.

`=(35)/(6)/ (16)/(3)`

According to the fraction rules, we have to apply the reciprocal of the value after the sign. (flip)

`(35)/(6)* (3)/(16)`

Multiply across

`35* 3=105\\\\6* 16 = 48`

`=(105)/(48)`

Simplify

`(105)/(48)=2(3)/(16)`

Therefore, the answer is
`1(3)/(32)`. Look below

Answer 2

35/32 or in decimal form 1.09375
