Question 180481: 21%2F2 OVER x = 10%2F3
(The mixed number is the numerator and the x is the denominator.) I'm not sure how to solve this, the fraction with the mixed number as the numerator has got me confused. It would really help me if you could show your work.
Thank you

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
21%2F2 OVER x = 10%2F3
--------------------------------
(5/2) / (10/3)
Invert the denominator and multiply to get:
(5/2) * (3/10) = 15/20
Reduce to get:
= 3/4
