Answer:
The answer is [tex]5\frac{1}{3}[/tex] .
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
12 ÷ 2 1/4
Now, to solve it.
[tex]12\div 2\frac{ 1}{4}[/tex]
So, convert the mixed fraction into improper:
[tex]=12\div \frac{9}{4}[/tex]
Now, we convert the divisions symbol into multiplication which makes the fraction into reciprocal:
[tex]=12\times \frac{4}{9}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{48}{9}[/tex]
Dividing numerator and denominator by 3 we get:
[tex]=\frac{16}{3}[/tex]
Now, changing the resulting improper fraction into mixed:
[tex]=5\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Therefore, the answer is [tex]5\frac{1}{3}[/tex] .
