Question

How do you divide mixed fractions​

Answer 1

See my explanation below.

Explanation:

Let's start with two random mixed numbers.

`4(3)/(5)` ÷
`5(1)/(4)`

The first step is starting with
`4(3)/(5)`. Think about going from the denominator to the number on the left. After you remember that rule multiply 4 by 5. You should get 20. After that, you add by the numerator. 20 + 3=23

This is how it would be written.

`(23)/(5)`

Do the same for the next mixed number. 5 x 4 = 20 and add by the numerator 21.

`(21)/(4)`

After this is done. You will multiply by those fractions.
`(23)/(5)` x
`(21)/(4)` =
`(483)/(20)` we would write it as
`24(3)/(20)` as a mixed fraction.

I hope this helps!
