Question

How do you divide `7\frac { 1} { 3} \div 2\frac { 2} { 6}`?

Answer 1

The answer is `22/7`

Explanation:

First, you must convert both fractions into improper(unmixed) fractions. Do this by:
(denominator x whole number)+numerator/denominator
`(3*7)+1/3` and `(6*2)+2/6`
This gives `22/3` and `14/6`

Now for dividion of a fraction, you multiply the first fraction(the dividend) by the inverse of the second fraction(divisor):
`22/3` x `6/14`

Division by common factors/simplification will then give you `22/7`
