Solve 81/3:41/6

$$8 \frac { 1 } { 3 } : 4 \frac { 1 } { 6 }$$

Evaluate

$$2$$

Solution Steps

Divide \frac{8\times 3+1}{3} by \frac{4\times 6+1}{6} by multiplying \frac{8\times 3+1}{3} by the reciprocal of \frac{4\times 6+1}{6}.

$$\frac{\left(8\times 3+1\right)\times 6}{3\left(4\times 6+1\right)}$$

Cancel out 3 in both numerator and denominator.

$$\frac{2\left(1+3\times 8\right)}{1+4\times 6}$$

Multiply 3 and 8 to get 24.

$$\frac{2\left(1+24\right)}{1+4\times 6}$$

Add 1 and 24 to get 25.

$$\frac{2\times 25}{1+4\times 6}$$

Multiply 2 and 25 to get 50.

$$\frac{50}{1+4\times 6}$$

Multiply 4 and 6 to get 24.

$$\frac{50}{1+24}$$

Add 1 and 24 to get 25.

$$\frac{50}{25}$$

Divide 50 by 25 to get 2.
