Answer 2

There are $15\dfrac{3}{4}$ number of $\dfrac{1}{6}$ in $2\dfrac{5}{8}$.

Tips:

Before we solve this problem, we must know:

• $\dfrac{a}{b}\div\dfrac{c}{d}=\dfrac{a}{b}\times\dfrac{d}{c}$

• $a\dfrac{b}{c}=\dfrac{a\times c+b}{c}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to the find the required number of $\dfrac{1}{6}$ in $2\dfrac{5}{8}$, we divide the later by the first number, that is

$2\dfrac{5}{8}\div\dfrac{1}{6}$

$=\dfrac{2\times 8+5}{8}\div\dfrac{1}{6}$

$=\dfrac{21}{8}\times 6$

$=\dfrac{63}{4}$

$=15\dfrac{3}{4}$
