Question

Work out the following, giving your answers in their simplest form: 4 2/5 ÷ 1 1/5

Answer 1

First make mixed

4 x 5 = 20

20 + 2 = 22

22/5 = 4 2/5

1 x 5 = 5

5 + 1 = 6

6/5= 1 1/5

Multiply the reciprocal. The reciprocal is the fraction flipped over like 1/2 becomes 2/1

22/5 / 6/5 = 22/5 x 5/6

Multiply

22 x 5 = 110

5 x 6 = 30

110/30

Simplify

110/10=11

30/10=3

Answer is

11/3 = 3 2/3

Explanation:

Answer 2

11/3 or 3 2/3

Explanation:

4 2/5 ÷ 1 1/5 = 22/5 ÷ 6/5 = 22/5 x 5/6 = 110/30 = 11/3 = 3 2/3

Hope that helped! :D
