Dividing Mixed Numbers By Whole Numbers.

Yet another odd picture because there are no good “Mixed number” or “division” pictures. https://pixabay.com/photos/dog-view-cute-animal-portrait-eyes-838281/

I like efficiency. Though I like math, I don’t like doing math I don’t need to. That’s why the traditional way of dividing mixed numbers by whole numbers makes me a little crazy. Most of the process is doing (changing to an improper fraction), and then almost immediately, undoing (changing back to a mixed number). This is especially bad if the whole part of the mixed number is large.
