6.2.7 Divide Mixed Numbers

Divide Mixed Numbers

Since we already know how to turn a mixed number into an improper fraction (See Section 6.2.4 if you need a refresher), this process is easy to understand:

• First, we must turn the mixed number(s) into improper fractions
• We will keep the first fraction, change the division sign to a multiplication sign, and do the reciprocal to the second fraction
• Multiply the fractions normally and simplify
