Example Question #945 : Hspt Mathematics

Express the quotient as a fraction in lowest terms:

$5 \frac{3}{5} \div 4 \frac{1}{5}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{4}{5}$

$\frac{3}{4}$

$1 \frac{1}{4}$

$1 \frac{3}{4}$

$1 \frac{1}{3}$

Correct answer:

$1 \frac{1}{3}$

Explanation:

Rewrite the mixed fractions as improper fractions, change to a multiplication by inverting the second, cross-cancel, and multiply across:

$5 \frac{3}{5} \div 4 \frac{1}{5} = \frac{28}{5 } \div \frac{21}{5 } = \frac{28}{5 } \cdot \frac{5}{21 }= \frac{4}{1 } \cdot \frac{1}{3 }= \frac{4}{3 }$

Possible Answers:

0.765

6.54

7.65

6.81

By order of operations, divide first. Since the divisor is a whole number, divide as is:

$4.2 \div 14 = 0.3$

Add this quotient to 6.51.

$6.51 + 4.2 \div 14 = 6.51 + 0.3$

Add vertically, aligning the decimal points (appending a zero to 0.3):

6.51
