what is 7/8 / 3/4 ?

1 answer

To divide fractions, you can multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. The reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3.

So, we have:

(7/8) / (3/4) = (7/8) * (4/3)

Now, multiply the numerators together: 7 * 4 = 28
And multiply the denominators together: 8 * 3 = 24

The result is 28/24.

However, we can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4.

So, 28/24 simplifies to 7/6.

Therefore, (7/8) / (3/4) = 7/6.
