Answer 2

To divide the mixed number 10 1/4 by the fraction 4/5, we need to convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.

First, we multiply the whole number (10) by the denominator of the fraction (4) and add the numerator (1).
10 * 4 + 1 = 41
So 10 1/4 can be represented as the improper fraction 41/4.

Next, we divide the improper fraction 41/4 by the fraction 4/5.
To do this, we multiply the numerator (41) by the reciprocal of the denominator (5/4).
41/4 * 5/4 = (41 * 5) / (4 * 4) = 205/16.

Therefore, 10 1/4 ÷ 4/5 = 205/16.

Answer 3

My apologies for the error in my previous response. Let's correct it.

To divide the mixed number 10 1/4 by the fraction 4/5, we need to convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.

First, we multiply the whole number (10) by the denominator of the fraction (4) and add the numerator (1).
10 * 4 + 1 = 41.
So, 10 1/4 can be represented as the improper fraction 41/4.

Next, we divide the improper fraction 41/4 by the fraction 4/5.
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

41/4 ÷ 4/5 = 41/4 * 5/4.
To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators.

(41 * 5) / (4 * 4) = 205/16.

The result is 205/16, which is an improper fraction. To convert it to a mixed number, divide the numerator (205) by the denominator (16).

205 ÷ 16 = 12 remainder 13.

Therefore, the answer is 12 with a remainder of 13.
