Given the numerical statement:
2 2/3 divided by 1 3/5
Determine the value.
Solution:
In order to determine the value of the given mixed numbers, we simply need to convert it first into fraction, to do so, we multiply the whole number to the denominator then add the product to the denominator.
2 ⅔
= 8/3
1 3/5
= 8/5
Now in dividing fractions, we must take the reciprocal of the divisor or the denominator, and then multiply it with the numerator. The reciprocal simply refers to its inverse or opposite value. Hence the reciprocal of 8/5 is 5/8.
= (8/3)(5/8)
= 5/3
Final answer:
= 5/3
