12 2/3 ^ 2 1/3what is 12 2/3 divided by 2 1/3

(12 2/3)/( 2 1/3)= 38/7 or 5 3/7 or 5.43 decimal

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

(12 + 2/3)/(2 + 1/3)

Put 2 + 1/3 over the common denominator 3. 2 + 1/3 = (3×2)/3 + 1/3:

(12 + 2/3)/((3×2)/3 + 1/3)

3×2 = 6:

(12 + 2/3)/(6/3 + 1/3)

6/3 + 1/3 = (6 + 1)/3:

(12 + 2/3)/((6 + 1)/3)

6 + 1 = 7:

(12 + 2/3)/(7/3)

Put 12 + 2/3 over the common denominator 3. 12 + 2/3 = (3×12)/3 + 2/3:

((3×12)/3 + 2/3)/(7/3)

3×12 = 36:

(36/3 + 2/3)/(7/3)

36/3 + 2/3 = (36 + 2)/3:

((36 + 2)/3)/(7/3)

36 + 2 = 38:

(38/3)/(7/3)

Multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator, (38/3)/(7/3) = 38/3×3/7:

(38×3)/(3×7)

(38×3)/(3×7) = 3/3×38/7 = 38/7:

 38/7
