Learning target I can divide mixed numbers by first changing them to improper fractions, explain why the method works, and use it on a problem I have not seen before.

Remember6.10 Small Group · Group 2

Change every mixed number to one improper fraction before you divide, then check by multiplying the answer by the divisor. When both numbers are mixed numbers, change both to improper fractions. You cannot divide the parts separately.

Words: Mixed Number (Número mixto)Improper Fraction (Fracción impropia)Convert (Convertir)Simplify (Simplificar)Reciprocal (Recíproco)
