7/8 divided by 3/8

Answer 1

When you divide 7/8 by 3/8, you are essentially trying to see how many 3/8 can fit into 7/8.

To do this, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:

\( \frac{7}{8} \div \frac{3}{8} = \frac{7}{8} \times \frac{8}{3} \)

\( = \frac{56}{24} \)

Simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 8:

\( = \frac{7}{3} \)

So, 7/8 divided by 3/8 is equal to 7/3.
