Question

2 1/4 divided by 3 3/5=

Answer 1

`(5)/(8)` or 5/8 if you can't see it

Explanation:

First turn the fractions into mixed number by multiplying the denominator and whole number and adding the numerator to get your new numerator!

(4x2)+1 =9 9/4

(5x3) + 3 = 18 18/5

so your new problem is:

`(9)/(4)` divided by
`(18)/(5)`

but when you divide fractions you need to flip the second one and multiply instead

`(9)/(4)` x
`(5)/(18)` 9 x 5 is 45 18 x 4 is 72 =
`(45)/(72)`

then you have to reduce it and 9 can go into both numbers evenly to get
`(5)/(8)`
