Answer:
4.4...
Step-by-step explanation:
20 ÷ 4 1/2
let's change 4 1/2 into an improper fraction.
20 ÷ 9/2
20 is the same thing as 20/1, so we'll express it that way.
[tex]\frac{20}{1}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{9}{2}[/tex]
in order to divide fractions, you must multiply the first number (20/1) by the inverse of the second number (2/9). I'll put it in normal fraction form for clarity.
20 2
--- × ---
1 9
now we multiply straight across.
40
----
9
now we have 40 ÷ 9, which is 4.444...
so your answer is 4.4...
{also 4.4 with a repeating bar (tiny line over the .4)}
