Answer:

3 2/3 is the answer

Explanation:

Conversion a mixed number 2 3/

4

to a improper fraction: 2 3/4 = 2 3/

4

= 2 · 4 + 3/

4

= 8 + 3/

4

= 11/

4

To find new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 2 by the denominator 4. Whole number 2 equally 2 * 4/

4

= 8/

4

b) Add the answer from previous step 8 to the numerator 3. New numerator is 8 + 3 = 11

c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 11) over the denominator 4.

Two and three quarters is eleven quarters

Divide: 11/

4

: 3/

4

= 11/

4

· 4/

3

= 11 · 4/

4 · 3

= 44/

12

= 4 · 11 /

4 · 3

= 11/

3

Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal value of the second fraction. The first sub-step is to find the reciprocal (reverse the numerator and denominator, reciprocal of 3/

4

is 4/

3

) of the second fraction. Next, multiply the two numerators. Then, multiply the two denominators. In the next intermediate step , cancel by a common factor of 4 gives 11/

3

.

so you simplify to get 3 2/3
