Convert them to improper fractions.

The integer part of the mixed number is the integer part of the decimal. The use long division to convert the fractional part of the mixed number to the fractional part of the decimal.
If you are making use of long division method, the process of dividing a whole number is actually a subset of the process of dividing the decimals. While dividing both you may get a quotient with decimal places. Some exceptions to this do exist in case of whole numbers. Like when you are dividing 100 by 2, the quotient 50 has no decimal places.
ok,to do that first u have a mixed number.to turn it into an improper fraction,you have to multiply the whole number with the denominator.then you add the answer to the numerator.then you put the new number on top and use the original denominator.to simplify you have to find a number that goes into to both of then (divide). to practice you can try this: 5 1/2 = ? answer is 11/2
By dividing
Convert the mixed number into an improper (top-heavy) fraction first. Then swap the numerator and denominator.
The definition is the same as the definition of just about any division. Dividing by a number can be defined as multiplying by the reciprocal of the number. The reciprocal is the number which, when multiplied by a number, results in a product of 1. For example, dividing by 2 is defined as multiplying by 1/2 (since 2 x 1/2 = 1). Division can also be defined as finding a solution of an inverse multiplication problem. For example, 5 / 2 = x is equivalent to x times 2 = 5; thus, the division can be defined as finding a number that solves the multiplication. Although I didn't use mixed fractions in the above examples, the definitions are exactly the same for mixed numbers.
Division by a number is the same as multiplication by its reciprocal. That is, n / a = n * (1/a) and as you should know, (1/a) is the reciprocal of a.
Division is multiply by the reciprocal.
there was an amount of mixed numbers.

you can use the reciprocal in this situation: (1/4)^-2 to get rid of the "-" in front of the power, you can just use the reciprocal of the number in brackets: (4/1)^2 which is of course: 4^2 which would equal: 16 You may also use a reciprocal in a situation like this: 1/4 divided by 1/2 you would use the reciprocal of the second number to turn the divide into a multiplication: 1/4 X 2/1 which would equal: 1/2 There r probably a lot of other ways too, but those r possibly the most common hope this helped XD
Yes
Biologists use dividing cells to determine the number of chromosomes in an organism because chromosomes are most visible and distinct during cell division. By observing dividing cells under a microscope, biologists can count the number of chromosomes present, which provides information about the genetic makeup of the organism.
If I understand the use of "reciprocal" correctly, the answer is 249 degrees.
Think of it like this.... If we are dividing fractions and we set those fractions up in a fraction such as, 2/3 ___ 3/4 then how would we get rid of the bottom fraction? We would multiply it by the reciprocal 4/3, so that it's now equal to one, and then because we multiplied the bottom by 4/3, we must also multiply the top by 4/3. So now we have... 2/3 * 4/3 _______ 3/4 * 4/3 = 8/9 ___ 1 = 8/9 That's why we multiply by the reciprocal of a fraction when dividing! E2020 people this should be in your notes? The reciprocal is one of two numbers whose product is 1; it is also called multiplicative inverse.
