29 and one-fifth divided by 4 and StartFraction 6 over 7 EndFraction

Which numbers should be used?

✔ 29

÷

✔ 5

The estimated quotient is

✔ 5 4/5

Explanation:

Answer 2

The quotient is 6.

Explanation:

Given two fractions are:

`29(1)/(5)`

and

`4\frac{6}7`

To find:

The quotient of

`29(1)/(5)/ 4\frac{6}7`

Solution:

Formula to convert mixed fraction to a fraction:

`p(q)/(r) = (p* r+q)/(r)`

Using the above formula to rewrite the given mixed fractions:

`29(1)/(5)` can be written as:

`\frac{29* 5+1}5\\\Rightarrow (146)/(5)`

`4\frac{6}7` can be written as:

`(4* 7+6)/(7)\\\Rightarrow (34)/(7)`

Now dividing:

`((146)/(5))/((34)/(7))\\\Rightarrow (146* 7)/(5* 34)\\\Rightarrow \approx 6`

Therefore the quotient is 6.
