1/2 ÷ 3/7

Type response here

You should have found the following as the new equation:

1/2 x 7/3

To multiply this fraction, we need to multiply the numerator and denominator.

1x7 = 7

2x3 = 6

This makes our answer 7/6. This is an improper fraction, meaning we can change it into a mixed number!

Multiple Choice

7/6 is an improper fraction. What is 7/6 written as a mixed number?

7 and 1/6

1 and 1/6

6 and 1/7

The correct answer is 1 and 1/6

7/6 means that we have 7 pieces total and 6 pieces equals one whole. we can subtract 6/6 (which equals 1) from 7/6 and we find we have 1 whole and 1/6 remaining.

This makes our final answer to our division problem 1 and 1/6! Let's try some more together.
