What is the quotient of 5 2/7÷1 1/2

Answer 1

To divide 5 2/7 by 1 1/2, first convert both mixed numbers into improper fractions.

5 2/7 = (7*5 + 2)/7 = 37/7

1 1/2 = (2*1 + 1)/2 = 3/2

Now, divide the two fractions:

(37/7) ÷ (3/2)

To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:

(37/7) * (2/3) = (37*2)/(7*3) = 74/21

Therefore, the quotient is 74/21.

Answer 2

WRONG

Answer 3

Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct it.

To divide 5 2/7 by 1 1/2, we will first convert both mixed numbers into improper fractions.

5 2/7 = (7 * 5 + 2)/7 = 37/7

1 1/2 = (2 * 1 + 1)/2 = 3/2

Now, we can divide the two fractions:

37/7 ÷ 3/2

To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:

(37/7) * (2/3) = (37 * 2)/(7 * 3) = 74/21

Therefore, the quotient of 5 2/7 ÷ 1 1/2 is 74/21.
