Well, it's simple, to divide fractions like 2 1/2 and 1 1/3, first you turn them into improper fractions. to change them to improper fractions multiply the denominator by the whole number and then add the numerator. 2x2=4+1=5/2. 3x1=3+1=4/3. now you have 5/2 divided by 4/3. now you flip the the second fraction and change the division into multiplication so it looks like this 5/2x3/4. Now to solve the problem. 5/2x3/4=15/8. then change it back into a mixed number by dividing the numerator by the denominator. 15 divided by 8=1 7/8 So two and a half divided by one and one third equals one and seven eighths
