What is a fraction?

Fraction is a numerical value that is represented in the numerator and the denominator form. And the denominator can never be zero.

We have,

2 (4/5) tablespoons of medicine per day.

And to be divided into 6 equal doses.

Now,

According to the question,

Each dose = [2 (4/5) ]/ 6

Now,

Simplify the above values,

i.e.

Each dose = [ (8/5) ] / 6

Now,

When we divide a fraction then the denominator of the fraction is multiplied by the term from which we are dividing the fraction,

i.e.

Each dose = [ 8 / (5 * 6) ]

Each dose = 8 / 30

Each dose = 2 /15

In mixed fraction it would be 7(1/2).

So, the medicine to be taken in each dose will be 2 /15 or 7(1/2).
