Question

3÷1 1/4
i need to know ASAP and i need to know how to do it

Answer 1

It WILL BE 12/5

3 is 12/4

1 1/4 is 5/4

When you set it up like this 12/4 * 4/5 you can cancel out the 4’s and get 12/5 as the final answer.

Answer 2

2.4 or 2
`(2)/(5)`

Explanation:

Let's set this up:

We have 3/1
`(1)/(4)`

That's also 3/1.25

For division, we don't divide if there is a fraction, so we move the decimal place over to the right for both the numbers

300/125

Then you long divide as normal:

And it's really hard to show how to long divide on a computer so I'm just going to go ahead and assume you know how to.

But the answer to that would be 2.4 or 2
`(2)/(5)`

Thank you, let me know if you have any questions.
