The correct Answer is:
To evaluate the expression \( 5 \frac{1}{3} \div 1 \frac{1}{9} \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert Mixed Numbers to Improper Fractions First, we need to convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions. For \( 5 \frac{1}{3} \): - Multiply the whole number (5) by the denominator (3): \( 5 \times 3 = 15 \) - Add the numerator (1): \( 15 + 1 = 16 \) - So, \( 5 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{16}{3} \) For \( 1 \frac{1}{9} \): - Multiply the whole number (1) by the denominator (9): \( 1 \times 9 = 9 \) - Add the numerator (1): \( 9 + 1 = 10 \) - So, \( 1 \frac{1}{9} = \frac{10}{9} \) ### Step 2: Rewrite the Division as Multiplication Now, we rewrite the division of fractions as multiplication by the reciprocal of the second fraction. \[ \frac{16}{3} \div \frac{10}{9} = \frac{16}{3} \times \frac{9}{10} \] ### Step 3: Multiply the Fractions Now we can multiply the fractions: \[ \frac{16 \times 9}{3 \times 10} \] Calculating the numerator and denominator: - Numerator: \( 16 \times 9 = 144 \) - Denominator: \( 3 \times 10 = 30 \) So we have: \[ \frac{144}{30} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the Fraction Now, we simplify \( \frac{144}{30} \). To simplify, we can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 144 and 30. The GCD is 6. Now, divide both the numerator and the denominator by 6: \[ \frac{144 \div 6}{30 \div 6} = \frac{24}{5} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the final answer is: \[ \frac{24}{5} \]
