Question

Simplify this complex fraction 1 2/3 divided by 2 1/9

Answer 1

`(5)/(3) *(9)/(19)`

Explanation:

In order to simplify this equation you need to convert these whole number fractions into improper fractions and then use KCF. (Keep, Change, Flip)

`1(2)/(3) /2(1)/(9)`

Convert into improper fractions:

`1(2)/(3) = 3*1+2=(5)/(3)`

`2(1)/(9) =9*2+1=(19)/(9)`

(Remember to keep the denominators the same)

`(5)/(3) /(19)/(9)`

Now use KCF

`(5)/(3) /(19)/(9) = (5)/(3) *(9)/(19)`

`= (5)/(3) *(9)/(19)`

Hope this helps.
