Exercise 22 Page 47

Rewrite the expression so that all of the numbers are fractions.

21/104

Practice makes perfect
Before we evaluate the expression, let's first rewrite it so that all of the numbers are fractions.
2 58 Ă· 13
2 * 8+5/8 Ă· 13
16+5/8 Ă· 13
21/8 Ă· 13
21/8 Ă· 13/1
Now, dividing fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. 21/8 Ă· 13/1 = 21/8 * 1/13 When multiplying fractions, remember that the product of two fractions is equal to the product of the numerators over the product of the denominators.
21/8 * 1/13
21 * 1/8 * 13
21/8 * 13
