fits into
times.
To determine how many times the fraction
fits into the fraction
, you can set up a division:
![\[ (5)/(6) / \left(1 (2)/(3)\right) \]](https://img.qammunity.org/2024/formulas/mathematics/high-school/v8xssatec5bso7st4h6d5saix72qe59xae.png)
First, convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:
![\[ 1 (2)/(3) = (5)/(3) \]](https://img.qammunity.org/2024/formulas/mathematics/high-school/gyy4htfz8i0sx8a1jqquxmxouylinwolsk.png)
Now, rewrite the division as multiplication by the reciprocal:
![\[ (5)/(6) * (3)/(5) \]](https://img.qammunity.org/2024/formulas/mathematics/high-school/1kpscb4rayjis8s7ng7y9nbfvsourgp9cz.png)
Now, multiply the numerators and denominators:
![\[ ((5 * 3))/((6 * 5)) = (15)/(30) \]](https://img.qammunity.org/2024/formulas/mathematics/high-school/6mwstmf9d906qoxomi8w4ahxpplzkq6oxj.png)
So, the fraction
fits into the fraction
times. Simplifying this fraction further:
![\[ (15)/(30) = (1)/(2) \]](https://img.qammunity.org/2024/formulas/mathematics/high-school/mqi2s0dpgkgsljym7ieuuia4o1lbg1t8th.png)
Therefore,
fits into
times.
The probable question can be: How many times does the fraction \(1 \frac{2}{3}\) fit into the fraction \(\frac{5}{6}\)?
