Exercise 14 Page 47

Before we evaluate the expression, let's first rewrite it so that all of the numbers are fractions. The quotient of 10 and 2 14 is the same as the quotient of 101 and 94. 10 ÷ 2 14 &= 10/1 ÷ 9/4 &= 10/1 * &= Now, dividing fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. 10 ÷ 2 14 &= 10/1 ÷ 9/4 &= 10/1 * 4/9 &= When multiplying fractions, remember that the product of two fractions is equal to the product of the numerators over the product of the denominators. Finally, we can write the fraction as a mixed number. The quotient is 409 or 4 49. 10 ÷ 2 14 &= 10/1 ÷ 9/4 &= 10/1 * 4/9 &=40/9or 4 49
