Question

what is 3 3/4 dived by 2 5/8

Answer 1

Answer:

$1 \frac{36}{84}$

simplified :

$1 \frac{3}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

first, we turn them into improper fractions

$3 \frac{ + 3}{ \times 4} \div 2 \frac{ + 5}{ \times 8}$

First, we multiply 3×4=12+3=15 the demoninator will remain the same.

2×8=16+5=21, denominator remains the same.

$\frac{15}{4} \div \frac{21}{8}$

when it comes to division with fractions, you flip the right(direction)fraction then multiply.

$\frac{15}{4} \times \frac{8}{21}$

15×8=120

4×21=84

$\frac{120}{84}$

then turn in back into a mixed fraction.

$1 \frac{36}{84}$

demoninator remains the same, how many times 84 goes into 120, which is once(whole number) and how many is left over (numberator)
