Question 387114: 34 divided by 1 3/10
Answer by tara0066(31)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! First off, you should change your 1 3/10 into an improper fraction. Take the 10 on the bottom, times the whole number and then add your top. This answer will go on the top of your fraction, leaving the bottom the same as it was in the beginning.
10(1)+3=13
Now you have 34 divided by 13/10.
We can't divide fractions, but if we flip the second one-we can change this into a multiplication problem.
34 times 10/13
34/1 times 10/13 Multiply straight across the tops, then multiply straight across the bottoms.
34(10)=340
1(13)=13
340/13 Now you can divide 340 by 13. How many times it goes in evenly will be your whole number and your remainder will be the top number on your fraction answer. The bottom number will stay 13.
It goes in there 26 times. Your remainder is 2. So your final answer is 26 2/13
