6th grade Q1

When you divide mixed numbers, there’s a step-by-step process to follow. Let’s walk through it!

For example, let’s say you want to solve:

Step 1: Change the mixed numbers into improper fractions

To change $2\frac{1}{3}$ into an improper fraction, look at the image below. First multiply the denominator by the whole number, then add the result to the numerator.

$2\frac{1}{3}$ becomes

$1\frac{1}{4}$becomes

Step 2: Flip the second fraction
Now that both numbers are improper fractions, you need to flip the second fraction. So:

Step 3: Multiply the fractions
Instead of dividing, you now multiply the first fraction by the flipped  second fraction. You multiply the numerators and the denominators:

Step 4: Simplify or change back to a mixed number
$\frac{28}{15}$ can't be simplified because there are no common factors. $\frac{28}{15}$ can be written as a mixed number since the numerator is larger than the denominator. 28 divided by 15 is 1 with a remainder of 13. So,

Final Answer:
