Answer:
2 11/12
Step-by-step explanation:
(50/3)/(40/7)
=50/3*7/40
=5/3*7/4
=35/12
=2 11/12
let's convert firstly, the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then divide.
[tex]\bf \stackrel{mixed}{16\frac{2}{3}}\implies \cfrac{16\cdot 3+2}{3}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{50}{3}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{5\frac{5}{7}}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 7+5}{7}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{40}{7}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{50}{3}\div\cfrac{40}{7}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{5}{\begin{matrix} 50 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}}}{3}\cdot \cfrac{7}{\underset{4}{\begin{matrix} 40 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}}}\implies \cfrac{35}{12}\implies 2\frac{11}{12}[/tex]
