Question

What is the quotient of 5 1/4 ÷ 3?​

Answer 1

7/4 or 1 3/4

Explanation:

Quotient is the value of the divident divided by the divisor. In this case;

Divident - 5 1/4

Divisor - 3

Calculation:

Divident / Divisor

- Converting the mixed fraction to improper for simplicity

`\sf \: 5 (1)/(4) = ((4 * 5) + 1)/(4) = (21)/(4)`

- Dividing the values

( a / b / c = a / b • 1 / c)

`\sf ((21)/(4))/(3) = (21)/(4) * (1)/(3) = (21)/(12) = (7)/(4)`
