Dividing Mixed Numbers and Fractions

In this video, Mr. Jay explains how to divide a mixed number by a fraction. The process involves converting the mixed number into an improper fraction, then using the 'keep switch flip' method to perform the division. After obtaining the result as an improper fraction, it is converted back into a mixed number. The video concludes with simplifying the fractional part of the mixed number, ensuring it is in its simplest form.
