To divide 5 1/2 by 4 3/5 and express the answer in the simplest form, you can follow the steps below:
Step 1: Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.
- 5 1/2 can be written as (2*5 + 1)/2 = 11/2
- 4 3/5 can be written as (5*4 + 3)/5 = 23/5
Step 2: Invert the second fraction and multiply.
- 11/2 ÷ 23/5 can be rewritten as 11/2 * 5/23
Step 3: Simplify the fractions by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD).
- The GCD of 11 and 23 is 1, so no further simplification is possible.
Step 4: Multiply the numerators and the denominators.
- 11/2 * 5/23 = (11*5)/(2*23) = 55/46
Step 5: Simplify the resulting fraction.
- Since 55 and 46 have a GCD of 1, the fraction 55/46 is already in its simplest form.
Therefore, the answer to 5 1/2 ÷ 4 3/5 in simplest form is 55/46. To express this as a mixed number or decimal is a matter of personal preference.
- As a mixed number: 1 9/46
- As a decimal (rounded to a specific number of decimal places): 1.195652... (approximately)
