Question

5 1/2 divided by 3/6

Answer 1

Answer:

11

Explanations:

The given expression is:

`5(1)/(2)\text{ }/\text{ }(3)/(6)`
`\begin{gathered} \text{First convert 5}(1)/(2)\text{ to improper fraction} \\ 5(1)/(2)\text{ = }(11)/(2) \end{gathered}`

The given expression can therefore also be written as:

`(11)/(2)\text{ }/\text{ }(3)/(6)`

Change the division sign (÷) to multiplication (x), and change 3/6 to 6/3

`\begin{gathered} (11)/(2)*(6)/(3) \\ \text{Multiply the numerator together, and also the denominator together} \\ (66)/(6) \\ =\text{ 11} \end{gathered}`
