How do i solve the problem 5 one-fourth/ 2 and two-sevenths?
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "(5 1/4)/(2 2/7) (not a good way to express it)
\n" ); document.write( "=(21/4)/(16/7)
\n" ); document.write( "Dividing by 16/7 is the same as multiplying by its inverse, 7/16
\n" ); document.write( "=(21/4)*(7/16)
\n" ); document.write( "Now multiply the NUMs and the DENs
\n" ); document.write( "= 21*7/4*16
\n" ); document.write( "= 147/64 That's it. You can make it 2 19/64, but that's confusing. It's ok on paper, but not a good format generally.
