Question

Find the quotient. 1 5 – 2. + 3 1 55+3= 2 (Type a whole number, fraction, or mixed number.)

Answer 1

we have

`5(1)/(2)\colon3`

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

5 1/2=5+1/2=11/2

substitute

(11/2):3=11/(3*2)=11/6

convert to mixed number

11/6=6/6+5/6=1+5/6=1 5/6

answer is

11/6 or 1 5/6
