Leave 16/5 the way it is. But, you need to change 3/1 to 1/3. Then, you just multiply. You chould end up with the answer being 1 and 1/15
Sorry, we refuse to do your homework for you.
16\5 = 5 1\3
3 goes into 5 1\3 1 time
and 2 1\3 left
so its 3.2 divided by 3
which is 1.066666667 or 1 1\15 or 16\15
easy way to do it
16\5 divided by 3\1
get reciprocol of the 3\1
then its 16\5 times 1\3
so 16\15
16/5 divided by 3 = 16/5 times 1/3 = (16x1)/(5x3) = 16/15
= 1 and 1/15
you first have to convert the number 3 to a fraction (3/1). when you divide fractions, you invert the second fraction and multiply. so you end up multiplying 16/5 x 1/3 which equals 16/15.
16/15 or 1 1/15
YOU ALL EDITED YOU ANSWER WHEN YOU REALIZED THAT YOU FORGOT TO MAKE 3 1/3 I HAD THE ANSWER FIRST
it's 1 and 1/5 u need a scientific calculator to do it! on the 2nd top row... in the second column there is a slash bar that gives u a fraction bar... u do 16/5 and then divide by 3 and u get 1 and 1/15!!!!! hope this helps!!!
ok so 16/5 divided by 3 would be 16/15. this is because KFC...KEEP FLIP CHANGE....you keep the first number which is 16/5 then you flip the second number which was technically 3/1 into 1/3 and lastly you CHANGE the divison into a multiplication. so the problem at first would be
16/5 (divided) 3/1
now the problem would be after doing KFC
16/5 (x) 1/3 which equals 16/15!
the answer is:
-16/15
Sorry i just used my calculator. it does fractions and kind of stuff.
