Answer:
14/3 or 4 2/3
Explanation:
To divide 10 1/2 by 2 1/4, we can first convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
10 1/2 = 21/2
2 1/4 = 9/4
Now we can divide 21/2 by 9/4:
(21/2) ÷ (9/4)
To divide fractions, we can multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator:
(21/2) x (4/9)
Simplifying, we can first divide 21 by 3 and 9 by 3:
(7/2) x (4/3)
Multiplying the numerators and denominators:
(7 x 4) / (2 x 3)
Simplifying the numerator and denominator:
28/6 = 14/3
Therefore, 10 1/2 divided by 2 1/4 is equal to 14/3 or 4 2/3.
