5/6 divided by 3/4
First you do KCF (Keep. Change. Flip.)
Keeping the 5/6.
Changing the 3/4 to 4/3
And the new operation is multiplication as it’s the inverse of division.
So this is how it looks like:
5/6 • 4/3
Now, you can’t cross simplify since none of them can’t be reduced.
So the product of 5/6 and 4/3 is 20/18. And the mixed number is 1 2/8.
Simplifying the mixed number is 1 1/4.
I hope this helped.
