Question

Using complete sentences, explain how to find the quotient of 8 2/3 divided by 1 3/5 Make sure to include the quotient in your answer.

Answer 1

`8 (2)/(3) / 1 (3)/(5) = (8 * 3 + 2)/(3) / (1 * 5 + 3)/(5) = (24 + 2)/(3) / (5 + 3)/(5) = (26)/(3) / (8)/(5) = (26 * 5)/(3 * 8) = (130)/(24) = (65 * 2)/(12 * 2) = (65)/(12) = 5 (5)/(12)`

Answer 2

First, you must convert the numbers into mixed fractions so your equation turns into 26/3 divided by 8/5. Then you find the reciprocal of 8/5. Once you do that you now have 26/3 times 5/8. When you multiply, you should have 130/24. I hope this helps
