    3 and 2/5 : 4 and 1/3

    The first step before you can divide these is that you must make them improper fractions, they cannot be mixed numbers.

    3 = 3/1 = 15/5

    15/5 + 2/5 = 17/5

    3 and 2/5 = 17/5

    4 = 4/1 = 12/3

    12/3 + 1/3 = 13/3

    4 and 1/3 = 13/3

    Now you can divide 17/5 and 13/3.

    Step 1 - Turn the fraction you are dividing by into its reciprocal.

    13/3 reciprocal equals 3/13

    Step 2 - Multiply.

    17/5 • 3/13

    17 • 3 = 51

    5 • 13 = 65

    Answer: 51/65

    Step 3 - Simplify if possible.

    51/65

    This is already in simplest form so there is no need to simplify.

    So the answer is 51/65.
