1 2/3 divided by 2 5/9 = explain how you get the answer?

Answer 1

Convert to improper fractions:
1 2/3 = 5 / 3 .............(1)
2 5/9 = 23 / 9 .
Turn 2nd fraction upside down:
9 / 23 ...........(2)
Multiply (1) by (2):
(9 x 5) / (3 x 23)
= 45 / 69
Divide numerator and denominator by 3:
15 / 23.

Answer 2

1 2/3 is a mixed number... And no one likes those, so let's transfer them into an improper fraction:

3*1= 3 + 2 = 5

So the improper fraction is:

5/3

And for 2 5/9

9*2 = 18 + 5 = 23

23/9

Now, we have 5/3 and 23/9:

(5/3) / (23/9)

To divide fractions, you flip the second fraction and multiply it by the first one.

(5/3)*(9/23)

To multiply, you just multiply the top numbers and the bottom numbers separately and combine them to make a final fraction:

5*9 / 3*23

= 45/69

This can be simplified by dividing both parts by 3:

15/23

And that is the final answer. Notice that is indeed smaller than the first fraction 1 2/3, so it is right.

Answer 3

5/3 divided by 23/9=
5/3 x 9/23=

3 becomes 1 and 9 becomes 3 leaving you with
5/1 x 3/23

answer is 15/23

Answer 4

Convert the mixed numerals to fractions:
(5/3) / (23/9)

Then divide the fractions the same way you divide two fractions: flip over the second one and multiply:
(5/3) * (9/23) =
(5*9) / (23*3) =
(5*3) / (23) =
15/23

Answer 5

1 2/3 // 2 5/9 = 5/3 // 23/3 = 5/3 x 3/23 = 5/23
