Question

what is 7/8 divided by 3/4

Answer 1

To divide fractions, you need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

The reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3.

So, 7/8 divided by 3/4 can be written as:

(7/8) * (4/3)

When we multiply the numerators (7 and 4) and denominators (8 and 3), we get:

(7 * 4) / (8 * 3) = 28/24

The fraction 28/24 can be simplified by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD). In this case, the GCD of 28 and 24 is 4.

Dividing both the numerator and denominator by 4, we get:

28/4 / 24/4 = 7/6

Therefore, 7/8 divided by 3/4 is equal to 7/6.
