To divide fractions, you need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. The reciprocal of a fraction is obtained by swapping the numerator and the denominator.
So, 7/8 ÷ 3/4 can be rewritten as 7/8 * 4/3.
Multiplying across, we get (7 * 4) / (8 * 3) = 28/24.
This fraction can be simplified by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 28 and 24, which is 4. Dividing both the numerator and denominator by 4, we get:
28/24 = (28 ÷ 4) / (24 ÷ 4) = 7/6.
Therefore, 7/8 ÷ 3/4 simplifies to 7/6.
