A.12 B.8 C.13 1/2 D.10 2/3

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

First, write 4 ½ in improper form.  2 × 4 + 1 = 9. So the fraction is 9/2.

Now divide:

9/2 ÷ 1/3

To divide by a fraction, multiply by the reciprocal:

9/2 × 3/1

27/2

13 1/2

Answer C.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. 13 1/2

Because... you just have to divide 4 1/2 by 1/3 so you change 4 1/2 to it’s improper fraction which is 9/2 then you divide it like this- 9/2 / 1/3 = (do the keep change flip method) 9/2 x 3/1 which equals to 27/2

Then you divide 27 by 2 and then it gets you your answer which is 13 1/2

Hope this helps! :)
