Okay so we have 52316
Let's first rewrite 523 into one fraction.
523=173
Then we make it 6'th instead of 3'rds
173=346
Okay, so now we have 34616 Since they are both 6'th I can rewrite this to
341=34
If you find this difficult to see you can also do this; rewrite 523 to 173
Then 17316=173∗116=173∗6=17∗13∗6=17∗63=17∗2=34

Let's convwert 5 + 2/3 to a fraction = 17/3
So we have
17/3 / 1/6 The rule is to "keep" the first fraction, "change" to multiplication and "flip' the second fraction......So we have
17/3 x 6/1 We can "cancel" the 6 and the 3 and get 2 So we have
17/1 x 2/1 = 34
Remeber when we divide fractions......"keep" "change" "flip'"
what is 5 and 2\3 divided by 1\6
Hi cassdy1,
To start with your fraction lines are the wrong way around. They have to be like /
now
523÷16
first you have to change the mixed numeral into an improper fraction. 3*5+2=17 that goes on the top and 3 goes on the bottom
=173÷16
Next, when you divide by a fraction you invert (the second one ) and multiply
=173×61
=17×63×1
Now, 3 goes into itself 1 time and into 6 two times
=17×21×1
=341
34 divided by 1 is 34
=34
There you go Cassdy1
I told you lots of people would want to answer your question.
Now the tough bit is choosing which answer you like best.
If you need more help to understand just ask.
You can say which answer you are referring to!
None of us will mind - we just want to help you learn.
We've just created a new math "identity"
1 question = "infinite" answers
Thus
1 = ∝
(And we have the "proof")
Good one Chris! I like it. lol for real!
how about you Cassdy1 ?
did you get too many answers? - does that make it harder?
Have a little English (Greek) with your math.

actually 1 question=7 answers not infinite by zegroes

You probably know what a “hyperbola” is. Now, you need to know what a “hyperbole” is.
If you don’t learn it, then everyone will be telling you this a billion times.

You are the only one who is likely to be telling zegroes this!!
But then again since you are "someone who knows everything"
It follows that you must be right.
But - assuming that you do indeed know everything - you may still tell lies - and if you tell lies then maybe you really do not know everything - It does sound like a circular arguement - We need Sir Cumference here to arbitrate!
I wonder if he is handy?
Perhaps Sir CPhill could take his place if Sir Cumference is not about the royal cylic quad?
Sorry....I'm busy at the moment trying to extricate a Roman zero from a boulder........
It's a hyperbolic problem...........and that' s no hyperbole.....
That zero is a infinite weight upon your shoulders. This is indeed true.
Hence let it be proclaimed that 0=∞ is now indeed proven!
This shall be legislated in the land of Camelot!

Sir Cumference, (assuming he still has his head) would argue that I know “everything” about lies.

Yes, it is a hyperbolic problem. We need a set of hyperbolic equations and a set of hyperbolic relations such that they converge at 42. The hyperbolic equations should contain most of the truth and the hyperbolic relations should contain most of the lies (and maybe contain the “Roman Zero”).
Now for the circular argument:
If our collective knowledge is the diameter of a circle, then is the circumference of the circle a measure of our ignorance?
Basic descriptive principle: as the diameter of knowledge increases, the circumference of ignorance increases by a factor of Pi.
If this is true, then the knowledge we gain increases our ignorance by a factor of Pi. This would mean I am the most ignorant person in the world.1 By the same measure, someone who knows nothing is the least ignorant. 2
Conceivably the circumference does not measure ignorance. It probably measures a border of ignorance – a border of what we do not know. The tangents of the circle are where we are aware of what we do not know. Farther out is where we are unaware of what we do not know.
A circle has an area. What does this define? Wisdom? If so, then wisdom increases as ½ the diameter squared times Pi. This seems too fast a rate.
This resonates like a paradox worthy of Sir Cumference.
Increase its complexity by defining this in three dimensions: If our collective knowledge is the diameter of a sphere, then … … …
This now resonates like a paradox worthy of Sir Phere, the progeny of Sir Cumference. However, that is another ball of wax. Anyone want to play ball?
If so, you will have to wait. I was doing this while skiing and I just received a call to investigate a plane crash.
Strange fixation: Someone keeps rolling a big bolder up the ski slope, while another keeps looking for something (or nothing) inside. He has three sets of sunglasses. Strange world we live in!
In the mean time, think outside the circle or sphere: question the basics. You may look like a fool, but, if you do not, you will be … for a lifetime. Believe me, I know, because I know everything. (There were a couple of people here, who did that once, …which is part of the reason I know everything).
Some of you now probably “know” something you did not know before. Those that do know are intelligent enough to know that some information is more valuable when it is esoteric.

This is a great piece of writing.
I love all those analogies. I'll ponder them for ages. Thank you Mr know-it-all
Thank you for the compliment.
For the record, My name is not “Mr know-it-all”. He is on another forum.
I am “Someone Who Knows Everything”.
There are major differences in attitude and character between us. (I can elaborate on this if you wish).
It was intended as humorous hyperbole. (Though it really is true).
