🔧 General Method: Dividing Mixed Numbers



To divide two mixed numbers:

1. Convert each mixed number into an improper fraction.
2. Change the division into multiplication by flipping the second fraction (reciprocal).
3. Multiply the fractions.
4. Simplify the result and convert back to a mixed number if needed.

Example: Problem #1


$$
3\frac{4}{5} \div 5\frac{3}{5}
$$

#### Step 1: Convert to improper fractions
- $3\frac{4}{5} = \frac{3 \times 5 + 4}{5} = \frac{15 + 4}{5} = \frac{19}{5}$
- $5\frac{3}{5} = \frac{5 \times 5 + 3}{5} = \frac{25 + 3}{5} = \frac{28}{5}$

#### Step 2: Rewrite as multiplication
$$
\frac{19}{5} \div \frac{28}{5} = \frac{19}{5} \times \frac{5}{28}
$$

#### Step 3: Multiply
$$
\frac{19 \times 5}{5 \times 28} = \frac{95}{140}
$$

#### Step 4: Simplify
- Divide numerator and denominator by 5:
$$
\frac{95 \div 5}{140 \div 5} = \frac{19}{28}
$$

So, the answer is $ \frac{19}{28} $ — matches the red answer.

Let’s now verify a few more to check consistency.

Problem #3:


$$
1\frac{4}{6} \div 7\frac{3}{6}
$$

First, simplify fractions:
- $1\frac{4}{6} = 1\frac{2}{3} = \frac{5}{3}$
- $7\frac{3}{6} = 7\frac{1}{2} = \frac{15}{2}$

Now:
$$
\frac{5}{3} \div \frac{15}{2} = \frac{5}{3} \times \frac{2}{15} = \frac{10}{45} = \frac{2}{9}
$$

Matches the red answer: $ \frac{2}{9} $

---

Problem #5:


$$
9\frac{2}{4} \div 4\frac{1}{4}
$$

Simplify:
- $9\frac{2}{4} = 9\frac{1}{2} = \frac{19}{2}$
- $4\frac{1}{4} = \frac{17}{4}$

$$
\frac{19}{2} \div \frac{17}{4} = \frac{19}{2} \times \frac{4}{17} = \frac{76}{34} = \frac{38}{17} = 2\frac{4}{17}
$$

Matches red answer: $2\frac{4}{17}$

---

Problem #6:


$$
8\frac{4}{5} \div 8\frac{3}{5}
$$

Convert:
- $8\frac{4}{5} = \frac{44}{5}$
- $8\frac{3}{5} = \frac{43}{5}$

$$
\frac{44}{5} \div \frac{43}{5} = \frac{44}{5} \times \frac{5}{43} = \frac{44}{43} = 1\frac{1}{43}
$$

Matches red answer: $1\frac{1}{43}$

---

Problem #17:


$$
8\frac{6}{8} \div 2\frac{3}{8}
$$

Simplify:
- $8\frac{6}{8} = 8\frac{3}{4} = \frac{35}{4}$
- $2\frac{3}{8} = \frac{19}{8}$

$$
\frac{35}{4} \div \frac{19}{8} = \frac{35}{4} \times \frac{8}{19} = \frac{280}{76} = \frac{70}{19} = 3\frac{13}{19}
$$

Matches red answer: $3\frac{13}{19}$

---

Problem #20:


$$
8\frac{7}{8} \div 7\frac{3}{8}
$$

Convert:
- $8\frac{7}{8} = \frac{71}{8}$
- $7\frac{3}{8} = \frac{59}{8}$

$$
\frac{71}{8} \div \frac{59}{8} = \frac{71}{8} \times \frac{8}{59} = \frac{71}{59} = 1\frac{12}{59}
$$

Matches red answer: $1\frac{12}{59}$

📌 Final Verification



After checking several problems, all the red answers appear to be correct.

However, let’s look at Problem #12 carefully:

> #12: $6\frac{3}{8} \div 6\frac{7}{8} = \frac{51}{55}$

Check:
- $6\frac{3}{8} = \frac{51}{8}$
- $6\frac{7}{8} = \frac{55}{8}$

$$
\frac{51}{8} \div \frac{55}{8} = \frac{51}{8} \times \frac{8}{55} = \frac{51}{55}
$$

Correct.
