Question

What is 13 1/12 ÷ 6 2/5

Answer 1

`2(17)/(384)`

Explanation:

We are given 13 1/12 divided by 6 2/5

First off, let's change these fractions into improper fractions to make the next steps easier for us.

To do so, multiply the whole number by the denominator then add that result by the numerator.

13 1/12

13 * 12

156

156 + 1

157/12 is our first improper fraction.

6 2/5

6 * 5

30

30 + 2

32

32/5 is our second improper fraction

Now, we have 157/12 divided by 32/5, use KCF.

Keep - Keep both fractions the same

Change - Change the division sign to a multiplication sign

[ 157/12 * 32/5]

Flip - Flip the second fraction

[157/12 * 5/32]

Now multiply the numerators and denominators across,

`(157*5)/(12*32)`

`(785)/(384)`

Now change back to a mixed fraction, see how many times 384 goes into 785

384 + 384

768

It goes in two times, that will be our whole number, now just see how much is that answer left by the numerator.

785 - 768

17, this is our new numerator.

Therefore, we are left with

`[2(17)/(384) ]`
