Question

How do I divide fraction or mixed numbers.

Answer 1

If u have mixed fractions, like
`3(1)/(2)`, you will have to change it to improper fraction(
`(7)/(2)`) to divide with ease.

let's give an example of how to divide fractions.

1.
`(2)/(3)` ÷
`(1)/(3)`

Now, you will invert the numbers on the right side, and that will cause the division sign to change into multiplication sign.

`(2)/(3) / (1)/(3) \\\\(2)/(3) X (3)/(1)\\\\2`

2. let's have another example:

`2(1)/(3) / 3(1)/(2)\\\\(7)/(3) / (7)/(2) \\\\(7)/(3) X (2)/(7) \\\\(2)/(3)`

Answer 2

AnTo divide mixed numbers Change each mixed number to an improper fraction.

Multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor, simplifying if possible.
