To divide fractions, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
So, 1/4 ÷ 7/16 can be written as 1/4 × 16/7.
Next, you can simplify the fraction by canceling out common factors. The number 4 in the numerator can be canceled out with the 4 in the denominator, and the number 16 in the denominator can be canceled out with the 4 in the numerator.
1/1 × 4/7 = 4/7.
Therefore, 1/4 ÷ 7/16 is equal to 4/7.
