There are 7 2/3 pounds of walnuts in a container, which will be divided equally into containers that hold 1 1/3. How many would fill into the containers. :) if someone could help me that would be great cause I’m currently sneaking my phone into math class.

Respuesta :

All you would have to do is divide 7 2/3 by 1 1/3

Change 7 2/3 and 1 1/3 into improper fractions.

7 2/3 = 24/3

1 1/3 = 4/3

You end up with 24/3 divided by 4/3

When dividing fractions, you simply change the division symbol into the multiplication sign. Then you get the reciprocal of the second fraction. You do this by flipping the numbers.

Now you are left with 24/3 x 3/4 = 72/12

The answer would be 6
