Dividing Common Fractions (Algebra 1.1)How many one-sixths of a pie are there in two-and-a-half pies?
This problem requires us to divide two fractions. First, we will convert the mixed number two-and-a-half to a fraction
12=252

Dividing Common Fractions (Algebra 1.1)How many one-sixths of a pie are there in two-and-a-half pies?
Now we have to divide five halves by one-sixth
Flip the divisor
=5216=5261
3And proceed just as if you were multiplying, by multiplying across.
And simplify the quotient.
There are 15 sixths of a pie in two-and-a-half pies.
