What is the quotient of 5 2/7÷1 1/2 ?
wrong
Apologies for the mistake. Let's subtract the whole numbers first and then convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions.
5 2/7 ÷ 1 1/2 = (5 + 2/7) ÷ (1 + 1/2)
Converting the mixed numbers into improper fractions:
5 + 2/7 = (5 * 7 + 2)/7 = 37/7
1 + 1/2 = (1 * 2 + 1)/2 = 3/2
We have (37/7) ÷ (3/2).
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
(37/7) × (2/3)
Simplifying the multiplication:
(37 * 2) / (7 * 3) = 74/21
Therefore, the quotient of 5 2/7 ÷ 1 1/2 is 74/21.
To divide the fractions 5 2/7 ÷ 1 1/2, we need to first convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions.
5 2/7 = (7 * 5 + 2)/7 = 37/7
1 1/2 = (2 * 1 + 1)/2 = 3/2
Now, we can divide the fractions:
(37/7) ÷ (3/2)
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
(37/7) × (2/3)
Simplifying the multiplication:
(37 * 2) / (7 * 3) = 74/21
Therefore, the quotient of 5 2/7 ÷ 1 1/2 is 74/21.
