Question

5 3/5 divided 2 2/3 jlll

Answer 1

7/1 or 7.

Explanation:

Turn 2 2/3 into an improper fraction:

`2(2)/(3) =(3)/(3) +(3)/(3)+(2)/(3)=(8)/(3)`

Turn 5 3/5 into an improper fraction:

`5(3)/(5) =(5)/(5) +(5)/(5) +(5)/(5) +(5)/(5) +(5)/(5) +(3)/(5) = (28)/(3)`

Find the reciprocal (opposite) of 8/3, then multiply:

`(28)/(3) *(3)/(8) =(84)/(24)`

Divide 84/24 by 12:

`(84/12)/(12/12) = (7)/(1)`

Your simplified answer is 7/1, or 7.
