how do you divide fractions this way:ex. 1 1/3 divided by 2/6?

Question

ok so one and one third divded by 2 over 6

i know how to just divide fractions but how do you divide whole numbers and fractions together like example above.

Answer 1

Convert any mixed numbers (like 1 1/3) to improper fractions first.

1 1/3 then becomes 4/3, and you can divide the way you are used to.

Good luck!

Answer 2

You have to convert the mixed number to a fraction. For your example:

1 1/3 = 3/3 + 1/3 = 4/3

Then divide 4/3 by 2/6.

Answer 3

Convert 1 1/3 into the an improper fraction which would be 4 over 3. Then you switch the 2 over 6 or invert that into 6 over 2 now multipy them. 4*6= 24 and 3*2=6. We have 24 over 6. Now simplify it by 24 divided by 6 which gives you 4.
(I think I gave you too much information but I hope it helps you)

Answer 4

all u have to do is to put the whole number (also known as mixed numbers) in to improper fractions
This would equal 4/3, because 1st u multiply 1(whole number) by 3 of the fraction. Then u add the one(numerator) to the 3(1x3=3) and that gives u 4 over 3( the denominator stays the same)
then u just divide as u usually would.
i hope this helps u!!!!!!

Answer 5

convert 1 1/3 to an improper fraction: 4/3. then divide like normal. also sometimes a whole number and a fraction together is called a mixed number or a mixed fraction.

Answer 6

wow... thats old skoo... making me run my memory. but i believe that you have to turn that mix number into an improper fraction 1 1/3 turns to be 4/3
and when you divide fraction you multiply the second fraction by the reciprocal. meaning 2/6 will be 6/2
so write it out 4/3 x6/2 do your cross reduction and you should have 2/1 x 2/1 = 4/1 = 4

Answer 7

all you do to 1 1/3 is you first times the denominator by the whole number and then add the numerator and the answer is 4/3 divided by 2/6 and now you finish the math

Answer 8

1 1/3= 4/3
4/3 * 6/2 = 4/3 / 2/6
4/3 * 6/2 = 24/6
24/6 = 4

Answer 9

2 ways:
1/(2/6) + (1/3)/(2/6) = 6/2 + (1/3)(6/2) = 3 + 1 = 4

(1+1/3)/(2/6) = (4/3)(6/2) = 4

Answer 10

change 1 1/3 into 4/3. 4/3 divided by 2/6
simplify 2/6 to 1/3. 4/3 divided by 1/3
reciprocal of 1/3(3) and multiply it by 4/3. 4/3(3)=4
