Question

What is 5 whole number 5/6 divided by 3 whole number 1/6

Answer 1

Answer:
`1(16)/(19)`Explanations:

Mathematically, the question can be written as:

`5(5)/(6)\text{ / 3}(1)/(6)`

Convert each of the mixed fractions to improper fractions:

`5(5)/(6)=(35)/(6)`
`3(1)/(6)=(19)/(6)`

The given expression then becomes:

`\begin{gathered} (35)/(6)\text{ / }(19)/(6) \\ \text{Which becomes:} \\ (35)/(6)*(6)/(19) \end{gathered}`

The 6 in the denominator cancels the 6 in the numerator. The expression then becomes:

`\begin{gathered} (35)/(19) \\ \text{Converting this back to a mixed fraction, it becomes:} \\ 1(16)/(19) \end{gathered}`
