Convert any mixed numbers to fractions.

Then your initial equation becomes:

=[tex]\frac{29}{4}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

Applying the fractions formula for division,

= [tex]\frac{29(2)}{4(5)}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{58}{20}[/tex]

Simplifying 58/20, the answer is

= 2 [tex]\frac{9}{10}[/tex]

Answer: Shiela can bake 2 layers of cake.

Answer:

10/29 or 20/58

Step-by-step explanation:

first convert the mixed fractions into improper fraction by multiplying the denominator to whole number and adding the numerator the answer will be the numerator and the denominator is the same so

2 1/2 = 5/2

7 1/4 = 29/4

so you need to divide them

5/2 ÷ 29/4

first step in dividing fraction is the reciprocal multiplication

5 × 4 20

-------- = ----------

29×2 58

after that since its already proper fraction you need to simplify (please dont do it if NOT needed)

find the gcf of 20 and 58

the gcf is 2 so

20. 2. 10

------. × -------- = -------

58. 2. 29

so the answer will be 10/29
