Answer:

Rules for division with a mixed number and a whole number

The mixed number is converted into an improper fraction and the whole number is written as a fraction with denominator 1.

2.Division of the fractions is converted into a multiplication operation by multiplying the improper fraction with the reciprocal of the whole number.

3.The resulting fraction, if required, is written as a mixed number in simplest form.

I WILL GIVE YOU EXAMPLES AND LET ME JUST HOPE YOU GET IT ;)

Example1:

Divide. Write your answer as a mixed number in simplest form.

213÷7

Solution

Step 1:

First, we write the mixed number 213 as an improper fraction

213=(2×3+1)3=73; 7=71

Step 2:

The division is converted into multiplication as follows

213÷7=73÷71=73×17

Step 3:

Multiplying numerators and denominators

73×17=(7×1)(3×7)=721

Step 4:

721 can be simplified and written as follows

721=13

Step 5:

So, 213÷7=13

example2:

Divide. Write your answer as a mixed number in simplest form.

5÷134

Solution

Step 1:

First, we write the mixed number 134 as an improper fraction

134=(1×4+3)4=74; 5=51

Step 2:

5÷134=51÷74=51×47

Step 3:

Multiplying numerators and denominators

51×47=(5×4)(1×7)=207

Step 4:

207 can be written as a mixed number as follows

207=267

Step 5:

So, 5÷134=267

OK HOPE THIS HELPS YOU :')

PLEASE MARK ME BRILLIANT :3
