What is the result of dividing 9 by 1 1/4?

• A. 6 1/4
• B. 7 1/5
• C. 8
• D. 8 3/8

Answer: (B)

To find the result of dividing 9 by 1 1/4, it is first important to convert the mixed number into an improper fraction. The mixed number 1 1/4 can be converted as follows: 1 1/4 = 1 + 1/4 = 4/4 + 1/4 = 5/4. Next, we need to perform the division of 9 by 5/4. Dividing by a fraction is equivalent to multiplying by its reciprocal. Therefore: 9 ÷ (5/4) = 9 × (4/5). To continue, we can express 9 as a fraction: 9 = 9/1. Now, we can multiply the two fractions: (9/1) × (4/5) = (9 × 4) / (1 × 5) = 36/5. Next, we convert the improper fraction 36/5 into a mixed number. Dividing 36 by 5 gives us 7 with a remainder of 1, so we can express this as: 36/5 = 7 1/5. This means that the result of dividing 9 by 1 1/4
