Step-by-step solution for: Grade 6 Equivalent Fractions Worksheets | Math Worksheets
To solve the division of mixed numbers, we need to follow these steps:
1. Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions.
2. Divide the fractions by multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
3. Simplify the result if possible.
Let's solve each problem step by step.
---
#### Step 1: Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions.
- \( 2 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2 \times 2 + 1}{2} = \frac{5}{2} \)
- \( 1 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1 \times 4 + 1}{4} = \frac{5}{4} \)
#### Step 2: Divide the fractions.
\[ \frac{5}{2} \div \frac{5}{4} = \frac{5}{2} \times \frac{4}{5} = \frac{5 \times 4}{2 \times 5} = \frac{20}{10} = 2 \]
#### Answer:
\[ \boxed{2} \]
---
#### Step 1: Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions.
- \( 1 \frac{1}{5} = \frac{1 \times 5 + 1}{5} = \frac{6}{5} \)
- \( 1 \frac{4}{6} = \frac{1 \times 6 + 4}{6} = \frac{10}{6} \) (Simplify \( \frac{10}{6} \) to \( \frac{5}{3} \))
#### Step 2: Divide the fractions.
\[ \frac{6}{5} \div \frac{5}{3} = \frac{6}{5} \times \frac{3}{5} = \frac{6 \times 3}{5 \times 5} = \frac{18}{25} \]
#### Answer:
\[ \boxed{\frac{18}{25}} \]
---
#### Step 1: Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions.
- \( 4 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{4 \times 4 + 1}{4} = \frac{17}{4} \)
- \( 2 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2 \times 3 + 1}{3} = \frac{7}{3} \)
#### Step 2: Divide the fractions.
\[ \frac{17}{4} \div \frac{7}{3} = \frac{17}{4} \times \frac{3}{7} = \frac{17 \times 3}{4 \times 7} = \frac{51}{28} \]
#### Answer:
\[ \boxed{\frac{51}{28}} \]
---
#### Step 1: Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions.
- \( 5 \frac{2}{7} = \frac{5 \times 7 + 2}{7} = \frac{37}{7} \)
- \( 1 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1 \times 2 + 1}{2} = \frac{3}{2} \)
#### Step 2: Divide the fractions.
\[ \frac{37}{7} \div \frac{3}{2} = \frac{37}{7} \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{37 \times 2}{7 \times 3} = \frac{74}{21} \]
#### Answer:
\[ \boxed{\frac{74}{21}} \]
---

#### Step 2: Divide the fractions.
\[ \frac{10}{3} \div \frac{17}{9} = \frac{10}{3} \times \frac{9}{17} = \frac{10 \times 9}{3 \times 17} = \frac{90}{51} = \frac{30}{17} \]
#### Answer:
\[ \boxed{\frac{30}{17}} \]
---
#### Step 1: Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions.

#### Step 2: Divide the fractions.
\[ \frac{43}{6} \div \frac{7}{4} = \frac{43}{6} \times \frac{4}{7} = \frac{43 \times 4}{6 \times 7} = \frac{172}{42} = \frac{86}{21} \]
#### Answer:
\[ \boxed{\frac{86}{21}} \]
---

- \( 4 \frac{2}{3} = \frac{4 \times 3 + 2}{3} = \frac{14}{3} \)
#### Step 2: Divide the fractions.
\[ \frac{16}{5} \div \frac{14}{3} = \frac{16}{5} \times \frac{3}{14} = \frac{16 \times 3}{5 \times 14} = \frac{48}{70} = \frac{24}{35} \]
#### Answer:
\[ \boxed{\frac{24}{35}} \]

#### Step 2: Divide the fractions.
\[ \frac{21}{2} \div \frac{5}{3} = \frac{21}{2} \times \frac{3}{5} = \frac{21 \times 3}{2 \times 5} = \frac{63}{10} \]
#### Answer:
\[ \boxed{\frac{63}{10}} \]
---
#### Step 1: Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions.

- \( 6 \frac{2}{3} = \frac{6 \times 3 + 2}{3} = \frac{20}{3} \)
#### Step 2: Divide the fractions.
\[ \frac{12}{5} \div \frac{20}{3} = \frac{12}{5} \times \frac{3}{20} = \frac{12 \times 3}{5 \times 20} = \frac{36}{100} = \frac{9}{25} \]
#### Answer:
\[ \boxed{\frac{9}{25}} \]
