Answer 1

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

So, 1/3 ÷ 7/8 is the same as 1/3 × 8/7.

To multiply fractions, you multiply the numerators (top numbers) together to get the new numerator, and multiply the denominators (bottom numbers) together to get the new denominator.

So, 1/3 × 8/7 is (1 × 8) / (3 × 7) = 8/21.

Therefore, the answer is 8/21.
