What is the quotient of 2 1/6÷1 1/3 ? Simplify the answer, if possible.

Answer 1

To divide mixed numbers, we can convert them to improper fractions and then perform the division.

First, we convert 2 1/6 and 1 1/3 to improper fractions:
2 1/6 = (2 * 6 + 1) / 6 = 13/6
1 1/3 = (1 * 3 + 1) / 3 = 4/3

Next, we divide the improper fractions:
(13/6) ÷ (4/3) = (13/6) * (3/4) = (13*3)/(6*4) = 39/24

The quotient, 39/24, cannot be simplified any further because the numerator and denominator have no common factors except for 1.
