Thank you for answering that question! I really needed an answer to this. :)
oof division is hard
Can someone help me with it?
First, in order to make this equation easier, I'm going to convert 5 1/3 into an improper fraction.
I multiplied the whole number by the denominator, then added the numerator. (5*3=15+1=16)
Now that the denominators are similar, we have to see how many times 2 goes into 16. To do that, we can divide 16 and 2. 16/2=8.
Wendy is able to cut 8 2/3 foot pieces from 5 1/3 feet of ribbon.
(Ik this is kinda late;-;)
