Question

What is the quotient when you divide the fraction by the mixed number?

$\frac{9}{2}÷1\frac{1}{2}$ = ?

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

Answer 1

The correct option is C 3

$\frac{9}{2}÷1\frac{1}{2}$ = ?

First, we have to convert the mixed number into improper fraction.

$1\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{3}{2}$

Now, divide using the concept "keep-change-flip".

$\frac{9}{2}÷1\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{9}{2}÷\frac{3}{2}$ = $\frac{9}{2}\times \frac{2}{3}$ = 3

Hence, $\frac{9}{2}÷1\frac{1}{2}$ = 3
