Bot GPT 3.5 To divide fractions, we need to convert the division expression into a multiplication expression by taking the reciprocal of the divisor.
The reciprocal of 4 1/4 is 1/(4 1/4). We can find the reciprocal by flipping the fraction upside down.
1/(4 1/4) = 1/17/4.
Next, let's convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.
25 1/2 = 25 + 1/2 = 50/2 + 1/2 = 51/2
4 1/4 = 4 + 1/4 = 16/4 + 1/4 = 17/4
Now, let's multiply the dividend by the reciprocal of the divisor.
51/2 * 4/17 = 204/34 = 6
Therefore, the quotient of 25 1/2 ÷ 4 1/4 is 6.
