What is 7/8 ÷ 3/4

1 answer

To divide fractions, you need to "invert and multiply."

First, invert the second fraction by flipping the numerator and denominator: 3/4 becomes 4/3.

Next, multiply the fractions:

7/8 multiplied by 4/3 equals (7*4)/(8*3) = 28/24.

However, this fraction can be further simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their common factor, which is 4.

Thus, 28/24 simplifies to (28/4) ÷ (24/4) = 7/6.

So, 7/8 ÷ 3/4 is equal to 7/6.
