What is the answer to 3 2/5:4 1/3

3 and 2/5 : 4 and 1/3

The first step before you can divide these is that you must make them improper fractions, they cannot be mixed numbers.

3 = 3/1 = 15/5

15/5 + 2/5 = 17/5

3 and 2/5 = 17/5

4 = 4/1 = 12/3

12/3 + 1/3 = 13/3

4 and 1/3 = 13/3

Now you can divide 17/5 and 13/3.

Step 1 - Turn the fraction you are dividing by into its reciprocal.

13/3 reciprocal equals 3/13

Step 2 - Multiply.

17/5 • 3/13

17 • 3 = 51

5 • 13 = 65

Answer: 51/65

Step 3 - Simplify if possible.

51/65

This is already in simplest form so there is no need to simplify.

So the answer is 51/65.
