Given the numerical equation:

484/6 ÷ 4 2/3

Solution:

In order to divide the numerical equation, we must change first the mixed number into an improper fraction.  To do so we multiply the whole number to the denominator and add the product to the numerator.

4 ⅔ = 14/3

Now to divide two fractions, we must take the reciprocal of the divisor which is the one in the denominator, then multiply it to the numerator. The reciprocal simply refers to the inverse value or the opposite, wherase 14/3 = 3/14

= (486/6) (3/14)

= 1458/64 or 729/32

Final answer:

= 1458/64 or 729/32
