Question

how would I divide 6 1/2 by 18 3/8

Answer 1

first you need to turn the fractions into decimals then divide 6.5 and 18.375

Answer 2

You have to turn it into a improper fraction.
6 1/2 -- you multiply 6 by 2 and you get 12 and you add it by 1 and you get 13/2. 
18 3/8-- You multiply 18 by 8 and you get 144 and you add it by 3 and you get 147/8.
Then to set it up it would be 13/2 divide 147/8 but you have to switch 147/8 to 8/147 so, 13*8 would be 104 and 2*147 would be 294.

Your answer would be 104/294 and in simplest form it is 52/147
