441:281=
To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:
- Step 1: Convert each mixed number to an improper fraction.
- Step 2: Perform the division by multiplying by the reciprocal of the divisor.
- Step 3: Simplify the resulting fraction if necessary.
Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: Convert the mixed number 441 to an improper fraction. This is done by multiplying the whole number by the denominator and adding the numerator: 4×4+1=17. So, 441=417.
Convert 281 to an improper fraction: 2×8+1=17. Therefore, 281=817.
Step 2: Divide the fractions by multiplying by the reciprocal of the divisor. In this case, divide 417 by 817, which is equivalent to multiplying 417 by 178:
417×178=4×1717×8=68136.
Step 3: Simplify the resulting fraction 68136. Since the numerator and the denominator are both divisible by 68, simplification gives:
68÷68136÷68=12=2.
Therefore, the solution to the problem is 2.
