To divide mixed fractions/mixed numbers, do the following
steps;
1. Convert the mixed fractions (mixed numbers) to
improper fractions.
2. MULTIPLY the first fraction by the
inverse of the second fraction(swap the numerator and
denominator).
3. Reduce to simplest
form.
IN THIS EXAMPLE:
1. 1
1/2 will be converted to 3/2, and 3 1/4 will be converted to
13/4.
2. Multiply 3/2 x 4/13 =
12/26
3. Reduce. 12/26 = 6/13
