Answer

We have:

=945÷32325=495÷9825[Converting mixed to improper fraction]=495×2598[Reciprocal of 9825 is 2598]=15×252[Simplifying 49 and 98 ⇒ Divide by 49]=11×52[Simplifying 25 and 5 ⇒ Divide by 5]=1×51×2=52=212\begin{array}{ll} \phantom{=} 9\dfrac{4}{5} ÷ 3\dfrac{23}{25} \\ = \dfrac{49}{5} ÷ \dfrac{98}{25} & \text{[Converting mixed to improper fraction]} \\ = \dfrac{49}{5} \times \dfrac{25}{98} & [\text{Reciprocal of } \dfrac{98}{25} \text{ is } \dfrac{25}{98}] \\ = \dfrac{1}{5} \times \dfrac{25}{2} & \text{[Simplifying 49 and 98 ⇒ Divide by 49]} \\ = \dfrac{1}{1} \times \dfrac{5}{2} & \text{[Simplifying 25 and 5 ⇒ Divide by 5]} \\ = \dfrac{1 \times 5}{1 \times 2} \\ = \dfrac{5}{2} \\ = 2\dfrac{1}{2} \end{array}

∴ The answer is 2122\dfrac{1}{2}
