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

2818 or 1 59

Practice makes perfect
Before we evaluate the expression, let's first rewrite the expression so that all of the numbers are fractions.
3 12 Ă· 2 14
3 * 2+1/2 Ă· 2 * 4+1/4
6+1/2 Ă· 8+1/4
7/2 Ă· 9/4
Recall that dividing fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. 7/2 Ă· 9/4 = 7/2 * 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.
7/2 * 4/9
7 * 4/2 * 9
28/18
The quotient is 2818. We can also write this fraction as a mixed number.
28/18
18+10/18
18/18+10/18
1+10/18
1+5/9
1 59
