Question

What is 140 5/8 ÷ 11 1/4

`140 (5)/(8) / 11 (1)/(4 ) \\`

Answer 1

The first step to solving this is to convert the first mixed number into an improper fraction

`(1125)/(8)` ÷ 11
`(1)/(4)`
Now convert the second mixed number into an improper fraction

`(1125)/(8)` ÷
`(45)/(4)`
To divide by a fraction,, you must multiply by the reciprocal of the fraction. This will make the expression look like the following:

`(1125)/(8)` ×
`(4)/(45)`
Reduce the numbers with 45

`(25)/(8)` × 4
Finally,, reduce the numbers with 4 to get your final answer

`(25)/(2)`
This means that the correct answer to your expression is
`(25)/(2)` or 12
`(1)/(2)` simplified.
