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

6316 or 3 1516

Practice makes perfect
Before we evaluate the expression, let's first rewrite the expression so that all of the numbers are fractions.
9Ă· 2 27
9/1Ă· 2 27
9/1Ă·2* 7+2/7
9/1Ă·14+2/7
9/1Ă·16/7
Recall that dividing fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. 9/1Ă·16/7=9/1*7/16 When multiplying fractions, remember that the product of two fractions is equal to the product of the numerators over the product of the denominators.
9/1*7/16
9* 7/1* 16
63/16
The quotient is 6316. We can also write this fraction as a mixed number.
63/16
48+15/16
48/16+15/16
3+15/16
3 1516
