Lesson One Hundred-Twenty: Mixed Division

Here's another example for you to study: 


	ORIGINAL PROBLEM: 			2 1/6 ÷ 1 1/3 =

	CONVERT MIXED TO IMPROPER:		13/6 ÷ 4/3 =

	FLIP and CHANGE OPERATION:		13/6 * 3/4 =

	REDUCE (if possible):			13/2 * 1/4 =

	MULTIPLY:				13/8

	CONVERT IMPROPER TO MIXED:		1 5/8
Here's another example: 

	ORIGINAL PROBLEM: 			2 1/5 ÷ 1 1/7 =

	CONVERT MIXED TO IMPROPER:		11/5 ÷ 8/7 =

	FLIP and CHANGE OPERATION:		11/5 * 7/8

	REDUCE (if possible):			11/5 * 7/8 =

	MULTIPLY:				77/40

	CONVERT IMPROPER TO MIXED:		1 37/40

Now you get to try a few.
