Question

What is 10 5/8 divided by 2 with no decimal

Answer 1

i think it would be 5 5/16 that is the right answer

Answer 2

first off, let's convert the mixed fraction to "improper", and divide from there,


`\bf \stackrel{mixed}{10(5)/(8)}\implies \cfrac{10\cdot 8+5}{8}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{85}{8}} \\\\\\ \cfrac{85}{8}/ 2\implies \cfrac{85}{8}/ \cfrac{2}{1}\implies \cfrac{85}{8}\cdot \cfrac{1}{2}\implies \cfrac{85}{16}\implies 5(5)/(16)`
