Question

2 and 2 thirds divided by 4

Answer 1

2 2/3 can be written as 8/3. 4 can be written as 4/1.
We use KCF (Keep. Change. Flip.)
We keep 8/3 as 8/3.
We change the dividing sign to its opposite which is a multiplication sign.
We flip the 4/1. You put the reciprocal of 4/1 (1 divided by that number. A trick to get the reciprocal is to just make the numerator the denominator and the denominator the numerator.) The reciprocal is 1/4
8/3 times 1/4 is 8/12 which is simplified to 2/3
2 2/3 divided by 4= 2/3

Answer 2

Change the mixed fraction to an improper fraction. Multiply 2 by 3 and add 2 to get 8. Put the 8 over 3. Now you can multiply

`2 (2)/(3)` =
`(8)/(3)`

To divide the fraction, multiply the reciprocal, or opposite of the number(4 turns to 1/4)

You could multiply acros to get 8/12 and simplify to 2/3. Or you could cross simplify.

`(8)/(3)`×
`(1)/(4)`= 2/3

Your answer is
`(2)/(3)`
