Question

Find the quotient of 2 3/5 ÷ 1 2/5

Give your answer as a mixed number in its simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

It is 23 or two three by five

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{13}{7}$ is the quotient of  $2\frac{3}{5}$ ÷ $1\frac{2}{5}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

Given that, $2\frac{3}{5}$ ÷ $1\frac{2}{5}$

This can be written as $\frac{13}{5}$ ÷ $\frac{7}{5}$

• A mixed number is said to be in its simplest form if its fractional part's highest common factor HCF is 1.

• When mixed numbers are simplified, the fraction's value doesn't change. We can assert that the actual mixed number and the simplified mixed number are fractions of the same size.

Step 1:

We have  $\frac{13}{5}$ ÷ $\frac{7}{5}$

⇒ $\frac{13}{5}$ × $\frac{5}{7}$ = $\frac{13}{7}$

Final answer:

Hence, $\frac{13}{7}$ is the  quotient of  $2\frac{3}{5}$ ÷ $1\frac{2}{5}$.
