Let’s solve each problem step by step. We’re dividing mixed numbers, so first we’ll turn them into improper fractions, then divide by multiplying by the reciprocal.

1) 3 3/5 ÷ 2 1/2
Convert to improper fractions:
3 3/5 = (3×5 + 3)/5 = 18/5
2 1/2 = (2×2 + 1)/2 = 5/2
Now divide:
18/5 ÷ 5/2 = 18/5 × 2/5 = (18×2)/(5×5) = 36/25 =
1 11/25

2) 2 7/10 ÷ 3 1/3
2 7/10 = (2×10 + 7)/10 = 27/10
3 1/3 = (3×3 + 1)/3 = 10/3
27/10 ÷ 10/3 = 27/10 × 3/10 = (27×3)/(10×10) = 81/100 → already simplified →
81/100
Wait — that can’t be right? Let me check again.
Actually:
27/10 × 3/10 = 81/100 → yes, correct. But let’s see if it reduces — 81 and 100 have no common factors →
81/100
But wait — maybe I made a mistake in conversion?
2 7/10 is 27/10 — correct.
3 1/3 is 10/3 — correct.
Division: flip second fraction → multiply by 3/10 → 27/10 × 3/10 = 81/100 → yes.
So answer is
81/100

3) 4 3/5 ÷ 4 1/3
4 3/5 = (4×5 + 3)/5 = 23/5
4 1/3 = (4×3 + 1)/3 = 13/3
23/5 ÷ 13/3 = 23/5 × 3/13 = (23×3)/(5×13) = 69/65 =
1 4/65
---
4) 4 1/2 ÷ 4 1/3
4 1/2 = 9/2
4 1/3 = 13/3
9/2 ÷ 13/3 = 9/2 × 3/13 = 27/26 =
1 1/26
---
5) 4 1/10 ÷ 2 1/2
4 1/10 = 41/10
2 1/2 = 5/2
41/10 ÷ 5/2 = 41/10 × 2/5 = (41×2)/(10×5) = 82/50 = simplify → divide numerator and denominator by 2 → 41/25 =
1 16/25
---
6) 3 1/5 ÷ 4 2/3
3 1/5 = 16/5
4 2/3 = 14/3
16/5 ÷ 14/3 = 16/5 × 3/14 = (16×3)/(5×14) = 48/70 = simplify → divide by 2 → 24/35 →
24/35
---
7) 3 3/10 ÷ 3 2/3
3 3/10 = 33/10
3 2/3 = 11/3
33/10 ÷ 11/3 = 33/10 × 3/11 = (33×3)/(10×11) = 99/110 = simplify → divide by 11 → 9/10 →
9/10
---
8) 2 9/10 ÷ 3 4/5
2 9/10 = 29/10
3 4/5 = 19/5
29/10 ÷ 19/5 = 29/10 × 5/19 = (29×5)/(10×19) = 145/190 = simplify → divide by 5 → 29/38 →
29/38
---
9) 4 1/5 ÷ 2 1/2
4 1/5 = 21/5
2 1/2 = 5/2
21/5 ÷ 5/2 = 21/5 × 2/5 = 42/25 =
1 17/25
---
10) 2 9/10 ÷ 3 1/2
2 9/10 = 29/10
3 1/2 = 7/2
29/10 ÷ 7/2 = 29/10 × 2/7 = (29×2)/(10×7) = 58/70 = simplify → divide by 2 → 29/35 →
29/35
---
