Lesson One Hundred and Eighteen: Mixed Division

Now we are ready to divide a mixed number by a mixed number!

Here's an example for you to study: 


	ORIGINAL PROBLEM: 			1 1/3 ÷ 2 1/4 =

	CONVERT MIXED TO IMPROPER:		4/3 ÷ 9/4 =

	FLIP and CHANGE OPERATION:		4/3 * 4/9 =

	REDUCE (if possible):			4/3 * 4/9 =

	MULTIPLY:				16/27
Here's another example: 

	ORIGINAL PROBLEM: 			3 1/4 ÷ 2 1/6 =

	CONVERT MIXED TO IMPROPER:		13/4 ÷ 13/6 =

	FLIP and CHANGE OPERATION:		13/4 * 6/13

	REDUCE (if possible):			1/2 * 3/1 =

	MULTIPLY:				3/2

	CONVERT IMPROPER TO MIXED:		1 1/2

Now you get to try a few.
