When working with mixed numbers it is easier to convert them to improper fractions, do the maths using normal fraction techniques and then convert any resulting improper fraction back to a mixed number.
To divide mixed numbers is a simple matter of converting them to improper fractions; now the divisor can be turned upside down, the fractions multiplied and any resulting improper fraction converted back to a mixed number.
For example: 4⅜ ÷ 1¾
4⅜ = (4×8+3)/8 = 35/8
1¾ = (1×4+3)/4 = 7/4
→ 4⅜ ÷ 1¾
= 35/8 ÷ 7/4
= 35/8 × 4/7
= 5/2
= (2×2+1)/2
= 2½
First, you must turn the mixed fractions into improper fractions. Do this by multiplying the denominator (bottom) by the whole number then adding the numerator. (top)
For example:
1 1/4 and 2 1/3. 1 1/4 would be 1x4=4+1=5/4. For 2 1/3: 3x2=6+1=7/3.
Next, you change the division sign to a multiplication sign. Now, flip the second fraction. Our second fraction is 7/3 so we change it to 3/7. Now we multiply numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator. 5/4 x 3/7= 15/28. In some problems you must simplify or change it to a mixed number. Good luck!
make each fraction a improper fraction the flip the second fraction and multiply straight across then simplify
Change them into improper fractions. Invert the second fraction and multiply them together. Reduce if necessary.
It is the same as dividing two positive mixed fractions except that at the end of it all, you put a negative sign in front.
It is convenient to convert both mixed fractions into improper fractions (numerator larger than denominator). To divide, multiply using the reciprocal of the divisor.Example:To divide 53/5 by 42/3 :Changing the mixed numbers to improper fractions gives the division28/5 divided by 14/3To divide by a fraction, you can invert its values (multiply by the reciprocal), giving28/5 x 3/14Multiply the numerators 28 x 3 = 84 and the denominators 5 x 14 = 70The answer is 84/70 which reduces to 1 14/70 or 1 1/5
We deny the premise and maintain that you can divide fractions.
you cant divide mixed numbers
Yes, you can divide fraction untli u make the mixed number into a improper fraction then divide
make each fraction a improper fraction the flip the second fraction and multiply straight across then simplify
Same as any average. Add all the fractions and divide them by the amount of fractions
Add them together and divide the answer by 2.
"they" i don't know. go ask some one ales
You can search YouTube for "divide fractions", and find several.However, it isn't really that complicated; just remember the following simple rules:To divide one fraction by another fraction, take the reciprocal of the second fraction, then multiply.If you have mixed fractions, convert them both to improper fractions, then proceed as above (multiply by the reciprocal).

Yes, mixed fractions are rational
multiply and divide fractions!-.-
