The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem \( 4 \frac{2}{7} \div 2 \frac{2}{5} \), 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 \( 4 \frac{2}{7} \): \[ 4 \frac{2}{7} = \frac{(4 \times 7) + 2}{7} = \frac{28 + 2}{7} = \frac{30}{7} \] For \( 2 \frac{2}{5} \): \[ 2 \frac{2}{5} = \frac{(2 \times 5) + 2}{5} = \frac{10 + 2}{5} = \frac{12}{5} \] ### Step 2: Rewrite the Division as Multiplication Now we can rewrite the division of fractions as multiplication by the reciprocal of the second fraction: \[ \frac{30}{7} \div \frac{12}{5} = \frac{30}{7} \times \frac{5}{12} \] ### Step 3: Multiply the Numerators and Denominators Now we multiply the numerators and the denominators: \[ \frac{30 \times 5}{7 \times 12} = \frac{150}{84} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the Fraction Next, we simplify the fraction \( \frac{150}{84} \). We can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 150 and 84, which is 6. Now we divide both the numerator and the denominator by 6: \[ \frac{150 \div 6}{84 \div 6} = \frac{25}{14} \] ### Step 5: Convert Back to Mixed Number (if necessary) Since \( \frac{25}{14} \) is an improper fraction, we can convert it back to a mixed number: \[ 25 \div 14 = 1 \quad \text{(whole part)} \] \[ 25 - (14 \times 1) = 11 \quad \text{(remainder)} \] So, \( \frac{25}{14} = 1 \frac{11}{14} \). ### Final Answer Thus, the result of \( 4 \frac{2}{7} \div 2 \frac{2}{5} \) is: \[ 1 \frac{11}{14} \] ---
