Question

4 1/2 ÷ 1 1/4 = a b/c

Answer 1

Here is the equation:

`4 (1)/(2) / 1 (1)/(4) = a (b)/(c)`

When you're going to be dividing fractions, you have to keep, change, and flip. Also, make sure you make the fractions improper when it's a mixed number.

`4 (1)/(2) = (9)/(2)`

`1 (1)/(4) = (5)/(4)`

Now keep, change, flip

`Keep\ (9)/(2) \\ Change / to\ * \\ Flip\ (5)/(4) = (4)/(5)`

Your new equation is:

`(9)/(2) * (4)/(5)`

Multiply:

`(9)/(2) * (4)/(5) = (36)/(10) = 3 (6)/(10) \rightarrow 3 (3)/(5)`

Your answer is:

`3 (3)/(5) \\ a = 3 \\ b = 3 \\ c = 5`
