Question

7 and 1/4 divided by 5/6 as a fraction or mixed number in simplest form

Answer 1

First off, turn 7 1/4 into a mixed number, 29/4. change 29/4  /  5/6   into a multiplication question by flipping 5/6 into 6/5 (AKA multiplying by the reciprocal) so you get 29/4  X  6/5. then multiply so you get 174/20. Next, simplify into a mixed number by seeing how many times 20 goes into 174, and then putting the leftovers into a fraction, so you get 8 14/20, then simplify even further so you get 8 7/10.
