Hello! Allow me to help

Your question:

My answer: To divide mixed fractions, you could first convert each to an improper fraction. Then, switch to a multiplication problem by multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor. Simplify and convert your answer back to a mixed fraction to get your answer!

Why is my answer correct? Good question! Allow me to explain: I am afraid I do not have a sufficient explanation, but you could always look up tutorials. My recommendation is Khan Academy as it always helpful ^w^

Hope this helps! UwU
