Is 11 1/2 divided by 2 1/4 equals 6 and overestimate or underestimate. Explain

11 1/2 ÷ 2 1/4 is not equal to 6, it is an overestimate.

Step-by-step explanation:

11 1/2 ÷ 2 1/4 = 6

First step: convert the improper fraction to a proper fraction

11 1/2= 23/2

2 1/4= 9/2

The question can be written as:

23/2 ÷ 9/2

=23/2 × 2/9 ( 2 cancels out 2)

= 23/9

=2.56

Therefore, 11 1/2 ÷ 2 1/4 is not equal to 6, it is an over estimate.
