0.5 divide 5 7/8

You have the choice of converting aall to fractions or all to decimals. #1 Convert to fractions.

0.5 = 1/2

So it becomes 1/2 divide 5 7/8

Remember the rule for division of fraction. Convert the denoi,mintor to an Improper (top heeavy) fraction/ Then, CHANGE THE SIGN TO MULTIPLY AND INVERT 9TURN OVER0 THE DENOMINTOR' then proceed as for multiplication of fractions.

Hence

1/2 divide 47/8 =

1/2 X 8/47

Cancel down by '2'

1/1 x 4/47 = 4/47 The answer. !!!!

#2 Convert all the decimals

5 7/8 = 5.875

Hence

0.5 divide 5.875

Set up division bracket

5.875 ) 0.5

Add sufficient zeroes to equal the denomintor

Hene

5.875)0.500

Shift the decimal point three places to the right

5875)5000.000

This would be a very tedious 'long division.

However, short circuiting, by calcultor th answer is 0.8510638...

However , does this compare with 4/47 / To make the comparison. On the calculator type in '4' divide '47' , '-' =0.85106...

So the numbers (answers) compare!!!!!!
