Exercise 34 Page 35

Rewrite the whole number 9 as a fraction. Multiply both the numerators and the denominators.

45/4 or 11 14

Practice makes perfect

Before we can find the quotient, we will first rewrite the whole number 9 as a fraction.

9÷ 4/5

Write as a fraction

9/1÷4/5

Next, recall that dividing fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. 9/1÷4/5=9/1* 5/4 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* 5/4

Multiply fractions

9* 5/1* 4

Multiply

45/4

We can also rewrite this answer as a mixed number.
