Question

Help please. This is due at midnight

Answer 1

Sage did it right.

your work:

1 1/2 ÷ 1/3

3/2 ÷ 1/3

3/2 × 3/1

9/2

4 1/2

Explanation:

first convert 1 1/2 into an improper fraction:

multiply the 2 and 1, you get 2, than add that to the current numerator to get a new one. You get 3/2 as your improper fraction

you now have: 3/2 ÷ 1/3

then turn the division sign into a multiplication sign by flipping the divisor:

you get 3/2 × 3/1

solve this:

multiply the numerators together, you get 9 as a new numerator

multiply your denominators, you get 2 as your new denominator

so now you have 9/2

next turn this into a mixed fraction, you get 4 1/2

so Sage did it right.
