1 3/4and 1 1/4 what is the quotient

1 answer

To find the quotient of 1 3/4 divided by 1 1/4, we can convert both fractions to improper fractions and then perform the division.

1 3/4 = (4 * 1 + 3)/4 = 7/4
1 1/4 = (4 * 1 + 1)/4 = 5/4

Now, we can divide 7/4 by 5/4:

(7/4) / (5/4) = 7/4 * 4/5

Cancel out the common factor of 4:

= (7/1) * (1/5)

Multiply the numerators and denominators:

= 7/5

Therefore, the quotient of 1 3/4 divided by 1 1/4 is 7/5.
