Lesson One Hundred and Seventeen: Mixed and Fraction Division

Here's another example for you to study: 


	ORIGINAL PROBLEM: 			2 1/6 ÷ 1/3 =

	CONVERT MIXED TO IMPROPER:		13/6 ÷ 1/3 =

	FLIP and CHANGE OPERATION:		13/6 * 3/1 =

	REDUCE (if possible):			13/2 * 1/1 =

	MULTIPLY:				13/2

	CONVERT IMPROPER TO MIXED:		6 1/2
Here's another example: 

	ORIGINAL PROBLEM: 			2 1/5 ÷ 1/7 =

	CONVERT MIXED TO IMPROPER:		11/5 ÷ 1/7 =

	FLIP and CHANGE OPERATION:		11/5 * 7/1

	REDUCE (if possible):			11/5 * 7/1 =

	MULTIPLY:				77/5

	CONVERT IMPROPER TO MIXED:		15 2/5

Now you get to try a few.
