How do you evaluate `2\frac { 1} { 5} \div 11`?

Answer 1

`2 1/5 div 11=color(red)(1/5)`

`color(blue)(2 1/5)` can be written as the improper fraction `color(blue)(11/5)`

`2 1/5color(magenta)( div 11)` is the same as `2 1/5 color(magenta)(xx 1/11)`

Therefore
`2 1/5 div 11` is the same as
`color(white)("XXX")color(blue)(11/5)color(magenta)(xx1/11)=cancel(11)/5xx1/cancel(11)=1/5`
