Answer:
Sage did it right.
your work:
1 1/2 ÷ 1/3
3/2 ÷ 1/3
3/2 × 3/1
9/2
4 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
first convert 1 1/2 into an improper fraction:
multiply the 2 and 1, you get 2, than add that to the current numerator to get a new one. You get 3/2 as your improper fraction
you now have: 3/2 ÷ 1/3
then turn the division sign into a multiplication sign by flipping the divisor:
you get 3/2 × 3/1
solve this:
multiply the numerators together, you get 9 as a new numerator
multiply your denominators, you get 2 as your new denominator
so now you have 9/2
next turn this into a mixed fraction, you get 4 1/2
so Sage did it right.
