Answer 4

7 1/3 divided by the number of trees (11).

1. Change 7 1/3 to an improper fraction. = 22/3
2. 22/3 divided by 11
3. Change 11 to a fraction by putting it over 1 = 11/1
4.Change the division problem to multiplication by leaving the first fraction, changing the division sign to multiplication, and flipping the last fraction.
Your problem will now look like the below:

22/3 x 1/11

5. Cross cancel if you can. In this case, 22 and 11 can be reduced. Your problem will now look like the below:

2/3 x 1/1

6. Multiply straight across and you get 2/3.
7. 2/3 of an hour is 40.
8. It took David 40 minutes to plant each tree.
