what is 6/8 divided 8 5/7 ? please help?
Favorite Answer
(1) when dividing fractions or mixed numbers by another, it helps immensely to have all terms as fractions.
(2) 8 5/7 is a mixed number. To convert it to a fraction, do as Rajanz did.
The result of 71/7 is correct, and it is an improper fraction, but that’s fine.
(3) One fraction divided by another is the same as the first fraction TIMES the inverse of the second fraction.
The inverse of 61/7 is 7/61.
6/8 times 7/61 is obtained by multiplying numerators AND multiplying denominators. Can you do that?
6*7 = 42
8*61=488
Simplify when you’re done multiplying. (I did not do that. I’ll trust you.)
Lets convets it to normal fractions
(6/8) / (61/7)
How: 8 5/7 = (8*7 + 5) / 7
Now:
(6/8) / (61/7)
=> 6/8 * 17/6
=>17/8
Ans: 2 1/8
please write it down on a paper…while writing u’ll know wht is happenning here.
