Dividing Mixed Numbers by Whole Numbers

In this video, Mr. Jay explains how to divide a mixed number by a whole number. The process involves converting the mixed number to an improper fraction, using the keep, switch, flip method to perform the division, and then converting the result back to a mixed number. The video provides a step-by-step example, ensuring the viewer understands each part of the process, including checking if the final fraction can be simplified.

What is the first step in dividing a mixed number by a whole number?

• Add the mixed number and the whole number

• Convert the whole number to a decimal

• Multiply the mixed number by the whole number

• Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction

How do you convert a whole number into a fraction?

• Multiply it by 2

• Divide it by 2

• Subtract 1 from it

• Place it over 1

What is the 'keep-switch-flip' method used for?

• Multiplying fractions

• Adding fractions

• Subtracting fractions

• Dividing fractions

After applying the 'keep-switch-flip' method, what is the next step?

• Subtract the fractions

• Add the fractions

• Convert the result to a mixed number

• Convert the result to a decimal

How do you find the whole number part of a mixed number from an improper fraction?

• Subtract the denominator from the numerator

• Add the numerator and the denominator

• Divide the numerator by the denominator

• Multiply the numerator by the denominator

What is the remainder used for when converting an improper fraction to a mixed number?

• It is ignored

• It becomes the new denominator

• It is added to the whole number

• It becomes the numerator of the fractional part

What should you check for after converting an improper fraction to a mixed number?

• If the whole number is even

• If the fraction can be simplified

• If the fraction is greater than 1

• If the numerator is larger than the denominator

What is the common factor between 22 and 27 in the example?

• 3

• 5

• 2

• 1

What is the final result of dividing 5 and 4/9 by 3?

• 2 and 1/3

• 1 and 22/27

• 4 and 5/6

• 3 and 1/9

What is the key takeaway from the video?

• Multiply before dividing

• Add fractions directly

• Use the keep-switch-flip method for division

• Always convert to decimals first
