You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I assume that the fractions are mixed numbers as stated.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6-3/4 ÷ 3 =\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I would change 6_3/4 to an improper fraction as step one.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, 6_3/4 = 27/4\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We now have:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "27/4 divided by 3\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You can write any number over 1 because any number divided by 1 = itself.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In other words, 3 can be written as 3/1.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "27/4 divided by 3/1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We reverse 3/1 to 1/3 and change the problem from division to multiplication.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We do this because multiplication and division are inverses of each other.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We now have 27/4 X 1/3 = 9/4 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Do the same with the other question.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Understand?\r
