Explanation:

Change into improper fractions:


(11)/(3) / (5)/(4)

Change to a multiplication problem:


(11)/(3) * (4)/(5)

Simplify:


(44)/(15)

or


2 (14)/(15)

or 2.93333333333

Depends on how the question wants you to put it. You can put it as an improper fraction, a proper fraction, or as a decimal.

Hope this helped ; )

3 2/3 ÷ 1 1/4

Make the two mixed fractions into an improper fraction

Denominator times whole number. 3*3=9. Add 9 with the numerator. 9+2=11

1*4=4 . 4+1=5

11/3 ÷ 5/4

Flip over the second fraction only when dividing

11/3 *4/5

Multiply the numerator together. Multiply the denominator together.

11*4=44

3*5=15

44/15 or 2 14/15

Answer: 44/15 or 2 14/15
