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.
