Question

What is 3 3/4 dived by 2 5/8

Answer 1

`1 (36)/(84)`

simplified :

`1 (3)/(7)`

Explanation:

first, we turn them into improper fractions

`3 ( + 3)/( * 4) / 2 ( + 5)/( * 8)`

First, we multiply 3×4=12+3=15 the demoninator will remain the same.

2×8=16+5=21, denominator remains the same.

`(15)/(4) / (21)/(8)`

when it comes to division with fractions, you flip the right(direction)fraction then multiply.

`(15)/(4) * (8)/(21)`

15×8=120

4×21=84

`(120)/(84)`

then turn in back into a mixed fraction.

`1 (36)/(84)`

demoninator remains the same, how many times 84 goes into 120, which is once(whole number) and how many is left over (numberator)
