To divide a mixed fraction by a fraction, you can follow a few steps:
Step 1: Convert the mixed fraction into an improper fraction
To convert the mixed fraction 2 6/7 into an improper fraction, multiply the whole number (2) by the denominator (7) and add the numerator (6). Then, use the same denominator:
2 × 7 + 6 = 14 + 6 = 20
So, the improper fraction equivalent of 2 6/7 is 20/7.
Step 2: Invert the second fraction
To divide by a fraction, you need to multiply by its reciprocal. The reciprocal of 2/14 is 14/2.
Step 3: Multiply the two fractions
Now that both fractions are in the same form, multiply them together:
20/7 × 14/2 = (20 × 14) / (7 × 2)
Step 4: Simplify the resulting fraction (if needed)
In this case, simplification is possible. Both the numerator and denominator are divisible by 2:
(20 × 14) / (7 × 2) = (10 × 14) / (7 × 1) = (10/1) × (2/1) = 20/1 = 20
Therefore, 2 6/7 divided by 2/14 equals 20.
