the question is in another "answer's" comments (obvious quotes are obvious)
question is "you will be writing and solving a word problem for the expression 9 1/3 ÷ 2 3/4"
one kind i've heard is a baking problem or a conversion problem
example: one blemflarck is worth 2 and 3/4 euros
if bob has 9 1/3 euros, how many blemflarcks does he have?
we can divide the number of euros he has by the number of euros that equals 1 blemfarck
so just do 9 1/3 ÷ 2 3/4
I would first convert them to improper fractions (form a/b)
9 and 1/3=9+1/3=(3*9)/3+1/3=27/3+1/3=28/3
2 and 3/4=2+3/4=(2*4)/4+3/4=8/4+3/4=11/4
recall that [tex]\frac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}{d}}=(\frac{a}{b})(\frac{d}{c})=[/tex]
[tex]\frac{ad}{bc}[/tex]
so
9 1/3 ÷ 2 3/4=28/3 ÷ 11/4=[tex]\frac{\frac{28}{3}}{\frac{11}{4}}=(\frac{28}{3})(\frac{4}{11})=[/tex]
[tex]\frac{(28)(4)}{(3)(11)}=\frac{112}{33}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{33}{33}+\frac{33}{33}+\frac{33}{33}+\frac{13}{33}=[/tex]
[tex]1+1+1+\frac{13}{33}=[/tex]
[tex]3+\frac{13}{33}=[/tex]
[tex]3[/tex] and [tex]\frac{13}{33}[/tex]
so bob has the equivilent of [tex]3[/tex] and [tex]\frac{13}{33}[/tex] blemflarcks
note: blemflarcks is a name of a currency as is euros. you can change those to any other name
