Exercise 11 Page 58

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

3020 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.
3 34 Ă· 2 12
3 * 4+3/4 Ă· 2 * 2+1/2
12+3/4 Ă· 4+1/2
15/4 Ă· 5/2
Recall that dividing fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. 15/4 Ă· 5/2 = 15/4 * 2/5 When multiplying fractions, remember that the product of two fractions is equal to the product of the numerators over the product of the denominators.
15/4 * 2/5
15 * 2/4 * 5
30/20
The quotient is 3020. We can also write this fraction as a mixed number.
30/20
20+10/20
20/20+10/20
1+10/20
1+1/2
1 12
