Answer 1

45/44 or 1 1/44

Explanation:

`5(5)/(8)` ÷
`5(1)/(2)`

Change each mixed number into an improper fraction. Multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator. This number becomes the new numerator and is put over the original denominator.

`5(5)/(8) = (45)/(8)`

`5(1)/(2) = (11)/(2)`

So now we can rewrite the expression as follows.

`(45)/(8)` ÷
`(11)/(2)`

Dividing by a fraction is the same thing as multiplying by its reciprocal. So rewrite the expression multiplying by 2/11 instead of dividing by 11/2.

`(45)/(8)` ×
`(2)/(11)`

Cross-cancel to simplify prior to solving the expression.

`(45)/(8) * (2)/(11) = (45)/(4) * (1)/(11)`

Solve the expression by mutiplying straight across.

`(45)/(4) * (1)/(11) = (45)/(44)`

So the original expression is equal to 45/44. If the answer is supposed to be a mixed number, divide the numerator by the denominator, and write the remainder as a fraction. So 45/44 also equals 1 and 1/44.
