How to determine the quotient of a whole number and a mixed number

The video tutorial explains how to divide a whole number by a mixed number by converting them into fractions and using the reciprocal method. It covers the conversion of whole and mixed numbers into improper fractions, the multiplication of fractions by their reciprocals, and the handling of negative signs in fractions. The tutorial emphasizes that the position of the negative sign in a fraction does not affect the result.

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

• Multiply the whole number by the mixed number

• Subtract the mixed number from the whole number

• Rewrite the whole number as a fraction

• Convert the whole number to a decimal

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

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

• Divide the numerator by the denominator

• Subtract the numerator from the denominator

• Add the whole number to the numerator

What is the reciprocal of 5/2?

• 2/5

• 5/2

• 10/1

• 1/5

When multiplying fractions, what should you do with the numerators and denominators?

• Multiply the numerators and denominators separately

• Subtract the numerators and denominators

• Divide the numerators by the denominators

• Add the numerators and denominators

Where can the negative sign be placed in a fraction?

• In the numerator, denominator, or in front of the fraction

• Only in the numerator

• Only in the denominator

• Only in front of the fraction
