Let's take our 2 fractions and divide:
a | |
b |
÷ |
c |
d |
Multiply by the reciprocal
a x d | |
b x c |
a = 8,
b = 5,
c = 2,
d = 3, so we have:
8 x 3 | |
5 x 2 |
24 | |
10 |
(1/2) x 24 = 12
The whole number = 1
The numerator = 3
(1/2) x 10 = 5
Fraction = | 5 + 3 |
5 |
Fraction = | 8 |
5 |
Answer = | 12 |
5 |
Answer = 12/5
