To solve this, you do:
110 divided by 5 1/2.
If you want your answer in fraction form, you do:
110/1 ÷ 11/2 (the improper fraction form)
To multiply, flip the second fraction to change from dividing to mutiplying:
110/1 × 2/11
Multiply across
110 × 2 = 220 and 1 × 11 = 11
220/11
Simplify:
220 ÷ 11 = 20
Tom babysat for 20 hours.
