Answer:
[tex]4 \frac{2}{5} \div 1 \frac{1}{5} = \frac{11}{3} or \: 3 \frac{2}{3} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
First before start dividing me have to change the mixed fractions into improper ones.
[tex]4 \frac{2}{5} = \frac{5 \times 4 + 2}{5}\\ = \frac{22}{5} [/tex]
[tex]1 \frac{1}{5} = \frac{5 \times 1 + 1}{5} \\ = \frac{6}{5} [/tex]
so the new question would be:
[tex] \frac{22}{5} \div \frac{6}{5} = \\ \\ reciprocal \: of \: \frac{6}{5} = \: ( \frac{5}{6} ) \\ \\ so \: \frac{22}{5} \times \frac{5}{6} = \frac{22}{6} or \frac{11}{3} [/tex]
