OK, we have a mixed fraction that we must turn into an inproper fraction. We know that:
1 = 1/1
We have to make common denominators:
1 2/3 = 3/3 +2/3 = 5/3
So we get:
(5/3) : (35/6)
[Here we could have used the formula a b/c = (ac +b)/c to save time]
To divide by a fraction is the same as to multiply with the inverse:
(5/3) : (35/6) = (5/3) * (6/35)
Multiply numerator by numerator, and denominator by denominator:
(5/3) * (6/35) = 30/105
We see that both the numerator and denominator has 5 as a divisor. Divide both the numerator and the denominator by 5:
30/105 = 6/21
Both the numerator and the denominator is divisible with 3:
2/7
