Audrey is checking to see how much dog food she has left. There are
pounds of dog food left in the bag. Her dog eats about a half pound of food
per
day. How many days does Audrey have left before she runs out of food?
::奥黛丽正在检查她还剩多少狗食。 袋子里还有3,3,4磅的狗食。 她的狗每天吃大约半磅的食物。 奥黛丽在食物用完之前还剩下多少天?
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。
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。
-
Convert the mixed number to an
improper fraction
.
::将混合数字转换成不适当的部分。 -
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。 -
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。
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。
Next, rewrite the problem.
::下一个,重写问题。
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
is
.
::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。
Next, multiply and simplify the fractions.
::下一步, 乘数并简化分数 。
The quotient is

Example 1
::例1
Earlier, you were given a problem about Audrey and her dog.
::早些时候,你得到一个问题 关于奥德丽和她的狗。
Audrey's dog eats about a half pound of food per day and she has
pounds of dog food left. Divide
by
to find out how many days' worth of food she has.
::奥德丽的狗每天吃大约半磅的食物,她还有334磅的狗食物。 334磅乘以12分之3,34磅,看看她有多少天的食物价值。
First, write a division problem for the problem.
::首先,写一个分裂问题。
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。
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。
Next, multiply the fractions.
::接下来,乘以分数。
Finally, convert the improper fraction to a mixed number.
::最后,将不当的分数转换成混合数。
