Dividing Fractions and Mixed Numbers

In this video, Mr. Jay explains how to divide a fraction by a mixed number. The process involves converting the mixed number into an improper fraction, then using the 'keep switch flip' method to perform the division. The video demonstrates the multiplication of fractions and the simplification of the result, providing a clear example throughout. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the steps and a reminder of the key concepts.

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

• Add the fraction and the mixed number

• Multiply the fraction by the mixed number

• Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction

• Convert the mixed number to a decimal

How do you convert a mixed number to an improper fraction?

• Divide the numerator by the whole number

• Subtract the numerator from the denominator

• Multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator

• Add the whole number to the fraction

What does the 'keep' step in 'keep, switch, flip' refer to?

• Keep the denominator the same

• Keep the operation as division

• Keep the fraction as it is

• Keep the mixed number as it is

In the 'keep, switch, flip' method, what does 'switch' mean?

• Switch the numerator and denominator

• Switch the fraction with the mixed number

• Switch the whole number to a fraction

• Switch the operation from division to multiplication

What does 'flip' mean in the 'keep, switch, flip' method?

• Flip the whole number to a decimal

• Flip the operation back to division

• Flip the numerator and denominator of the second fraction

• Flip the fraction to a mixed number

When multiplying fractions, what is the correct approach?

• Multiply the numerators and add the denominators

• Multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators

• Add the numerators and multiply the denominators

• Divide the numerators and multiply the denominators

What is the greatest common factor used for in simplifying fractions?

• To add fractions

• To multiply fractions

• To divide both the numerator and denominator

• To convert fractions to decimals

What is the simplified form of the fraction 18/44?

• 1/2

• 18/22

• 9/22

• 9/44

What is the final step after simplifying a fraction?

• Add it to the original fraction

• Multiply it by another fraction

• Check if it can be simplified further

• Convert it back to a mixed number

What is the key takeaway from dividing a fraction by a mixed number?

• Use the 'keep, switch, flip' method

• Always convert mixed numbers to decimals

• Multiply fractions directly

• Add fractions before dividing
