Divide 7/8÷1/2

1 answer

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

The reciprocal of 1/2 is 2/1 (or simply 2).

So, 7/8 ÷ 1/2 can be rewritten as 7/8 * 2.

Now, multiply the numerators (7 * 2) and the denominators (8 * 1) separately:
= 14/8

Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:
= 7/4

Therefore, 7/8 ÷ 1/2 equals 7/4.
