In this concept, you will learn how to  divide  a  mixed number  by a fraction.
::在这个概念中,你将学会如何将混合数除以一个小数。

Dividing Mixed Numbers by Fractions
::按分数排列的混合数字

You can divide a number by a fraction by multiplying the number by the  reciprocal  of the  divisor . A  mixed number  consists of a whole number and a fraction, or "a whole and a part." When dividing a mixed number by a fraction, the  quotient  is the number of times the fraction divides into the mixed number. 
::您可以通过将数字乘以对等数字来将数字除以一个分数。混合数字由整数和一个分数组成,或“整数和一部分”。当混合数字除以一个分数时,商数是分数乘以混合数的倍数。

Here is a division problem.
::这是一个分裂问题。

1 1 2 ÷ 1 3 = _

In this problem, you are trying to figure out how many sets or groups of one-third can be made from one and one-half. 
::在这个问题上,你试图弄清楚 三分之一的一组或几组 从一个半可以制成。

Here is a drawing of one and one-half.
::这是一张1.5的图。

To figure out how many groups of one–third can be made from this quantity, you would have to divide these boxes up again into thirds. Dividing by a fraction using diagrams does not always provide clear answers. 
::要想弄清楚从这个数量中可以得出多少组的三分之一,你就必须将这些盒子再分成三/3。 使用图表进行分解并不总能提供清晰的答案。

Instead, use these rules for dividing mixed numbers and fractions.
::相反,使用这些规则来分解混合数字和分数。

  1. Convert the mixed number to an  improper fraction
    ::将混合数字转换成不适当的部分。
  2. Change the division to its inverse, multiplication, and change the divisor to its reciprocal.
    ::将分数改变为反向、倍增,并将分数改变为对等。
  3. Multiply and  simplify  to find the quotient.
    ::乘以和简化以找到商数 。

Let's apply this information to the division problem.
::让我们应用这个信息 来解决分裂问题。

1 1 2 ÷ 1 3 = _

First, convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.
::首先,将混合数字转换成不适当的部分。

1 1 2 = 3 2

Next, rewrite the problem.
::下一个,重写问题。

3 2 ÷ 1 3

Then, change the division to multiplication and change the divisor to its reciprocal. Flip the  numerator  and the  denominator  of a fraction to find the reciprocal. The reciprocal of  1 3  is  3 1
::然后,将分数改变为乘法,并将分数改变为对等。翻转分子和分母分母以找到对等。对等为13是31。

3 2 ÷ 1 3 = 3 2 × 3 1

Next, multiply and simplify the fractions.
::下一步, 乘数并简化分数 。

3 × 3 2 × 1 = 9 2 = 4 1 2

The quotient is  4 1 2 .
::商数是412

3 3 4 ÷ 1 2

Next, convert the mixed number to an improper fraction. 
::接下来,将混合数字转换成不适当的部分。

3 3 4 = 15 4 15 4 ÷ 1 2

Then, change the operation to multiplication and the divisor to its reciprocal. 
::然后,将操作改变为乘法和分判为对等。

15 4 ÷ 1 2 = 15 4 × 2 1

Next, multiply the fractions. 
::接下来,乘以分数。
