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

204136 or 1 12

Practice makes perfect
Before we evaluate the expression, let's first rewrite the expression so that all of the numbers are fractions.
6 38 Ă· 4 14
6 * 8+3/8 Ă· 4 * 4+1/4
48+3/8 Ă· 16+1/4
51/8 Ă· 17/4
Recall that dividing fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. 51/8 Ă· 17/4 = 51/8 * 4/17 When multiplying fractions, remember that the product of two fractions is equal to the product of the numerators over the product of the denominators.
51/8 * 4/17
51 * 4/8 * 17
204/136
The quotient is 204136. We can also write this fraction as a mixed number.
204/136
136+68/136
136/136+68/136
1+68/136
1+1/2
1 12
