5 answers

To divide fractions, you need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

Reciprocal of 1/3 = 3/1

9/11 ÷ 1/3 = 9/11 × 3/1

Now, multiply the numerators together: 9 × 3 = 27
And multiply the denominators together: 11 × 1 = 11

So, the result is 27/11.

However, we can simplify this fraction further by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 1.

27/11 ÷ 1 = 27/11

So, the final answer is 27/11.
27/11?
Apologies for the oversight. Yes, the correct simplified answer is indeed 27/11.
2 5/11
I apologize for the confusion. Let's recompute the division of fractions:

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

9/11 ÷ 1/3 = 9/11 × 3/1

Multiplying the numerators together: 9 × 3 = 27
Multiplying the denominators together: 11 × 1 = 11

So, the result is 27/11.

To simplify this fraction, we can find the whole number and the fractional part:

27 ÷ 11 = 2 remainder 5

Therefore, the answer is 2 5/11.
