Question

in fraction form show you work

Answer 1

To split 6 1/2 of flour into 4 bowls, we can divide the flour evenly among the bowls by dividing the total amount of flour by the number of bowls.

First, we need to convert 6 1/2 into an improper fraction:
6 1/2 = 13/2

Next, we divide the amount of flour by the number of bowls:
13/2 ÷ 4

To divide fractions, we multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
13/2 × 1/4

Multiply the numerators together:
13 × 1 = 13

Multiply the denominators together:
2 × 4 = 8

So, each bowl will have 13/8 of flour.

Answer 2

13/8 in mixed form

Answer 3

To convert the fraction 13/8 into mixed form, we divide the numerator (13) by the denominator (8) to find the whole number part and the remainder.

13 ÷ 8 = 1 remainder 5

So, the mixed form of 13/8 is 1 5/8.

Therefore, each bowl will have 1 5/8 of flour.
