Question

Write a division problem with these types of numbers.

• The dividend and divisor are both mixed numbers.
•The quotient is a whole number.

Answer 1

Dividend: 3 1/2

Divisor: 1 3/4

To solve this problem, we can convert both mixed numbers to improper fractions:

Dividend: 7/2

Divisor: 7/4

Then we can divide the two fractions:

(7/2) ÷ (7/4) = (7/2) x (4/7) = 2

So the quotient is 2, which is a whole number. Therefore, the division problem 3 1/2 ÷ 1 3/4 = 2 has been solved.
