Question

Write an explanation to a friend about how you would estima 17 1/5 divided by 3 4/5

Answer 1

ok i would probably say that you have to turn the mixed numbers to improper fractions. So 17 1/5 would be 86/5 and 3 4/5 would be 19/5. then multiply by the reciprocal. 86/5 x 5/19 and you should get the answer 430/95
