You turn the mixed numbers into improper fractions. Then invert the divisor and multiply the numerators, and multiply the denominators (because division by a fraction is multiplication by its inverse) and simplify if possible:
Example: Problem 3 1/4 divided by 2 1/2
- improper factions 13/4 divided by 5/2
- invert second fraction 5/2 to 2/5
- multiply 13/4 x 2/5 = 26/20 which is equivalent to 13/10 or 1 3/10

First change the mixed numbers into improper fractions by multiplying the denominator and the whole number and add the product to the numerator in the mixed numbers and then multiply the numerators and the denominators and divide the numerator by the denominator of the product.
Divide the percentage number by 100 to convert it to a fraction. If the answer consists of an integer part and a fractional part then you will have a mixed number.
No, you can't divide 15 by a number greater than 1 and get an answer greater than 15. All mixed numbers are greater than 1 by definition.
The same as you find the average of any other type of number. You add the numbers, then divide the result by the amount of numbers. For example, to find the average of three different numbers, you add them all, then divide the result by 3.
You add the numbers. Then you divide by the number of numbers (i.e., if you have three numbers, you divide the sum by 3).You add the numbers.
