What is the quotient of 7/8÷5? Simplify your answer if possible.

Answer 1

To solve this problem, we need to divide 7/8 by 5.

Dividing fractions involves multiplying the numerator of the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

The reciprocal of 5 is 1/5.

So, 7/8 ÷ 5 can be rewritten as 7/8 × 1/5.

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together.

(7 × 1) / (8 × 5) = 7/40.

Therefore, the quotient of 7/8 ÷ 5 is 7/40.
