Question

Simplify 4/1/2 divide 1/1/5

Answer 1

Answer:
`3(3)/(4)`

Explanation:

Convert 4&1/2ths to improper fraction. Use this rule: a&b/c=​ac+b/c

`((4*2+1)/(2) )/(1(1)/(5) ) \\\\((9)/(2) )/(1(1)/(5))`

Use a&b/c=​ac+b/c again to make 1&1/5ths and improper fraction.

`((9)/(2))/((1*5+1)/(5)) =((9)/(2) )/((6)/(5) )` now you need to invert and multiply

`(9)/(2)* (5)/(6)=(9*5)/(2*6) =(45)/(12) =(15)/(4) = 3(3)/(4)`

Hope this helps, now you know the answer and how to do it. HAVE A BLESSED AND WONDERFUL DAY! As well as a great rest of Black History Month! :-)
