Question

Find the quotient.8 / (1 1/3) (Type a whole number or a fraction.)

Answer 1

In order to calculate the result of this division, let's first convert the mixed number 1 1/3 into a fraction:

`1(1)/(3)=1+(1)/(3)=(3)/(3)+(1)/(3)=(4)/(3)`

Now, calculating the division, we have:

`(8)/((4)/(3))=8\cdot(3)/(4)=2\cdot3=6`

So the result is 6.
