Step-by-Step Solution

23 ÷ 42 = 13

💡 When you divide by a fraction, you're asking "how many of these fit into that?" For example, dividing by 42 means "how many 42s are in 23?" To solve this, we flip the second fraction and multiply instead.

① Step 1: Keep the first fraction as it is

23 (this stays the same)

② Step 2: Flip the second fraction upside down

Change 42 to 24 (swap top and bottom)

💭 This is called the reciprocal. Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal.

③ Step 3: Now multiply the fractions

23 × 24 = 2×23×4 = 412

④ Step 4: Simplify to the smallest form

412 = 13

✓ Final Answer:

13 or 0.333333 in decimal
