Question

How do you divide `13\div 10\frac { 5} { 6}`?

Answer 1

You first convert the mixed fraction:

Explanation:

`10 5/6=(10xx6/6)+5/6=60/6+5/6=65/6`

Next step: division by a fraction is multiplying by its inverse:

`=13div65/6=13xx6/65=(13xx6)/65`

Now write `65=5xx13`:

`=(cancel13xx6)/(5xxcancel13)=6/5=1 1/5`
