1 (3)/(4)

Fractional division is fractional multiplication with the second fraction the reciprocal of itself. This means the problem can be written as
(7)/(9)*(9)/(4). Fractional multiplication results in the multiplication of the numerators and denominators---in this case,
(7)/(4)=1(3)/(4)

Answer:

Option B) a = 1, b = 3, c = 4

Explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

We are given an expression:


\displaystyle(7)/(9) / (4)/(9) = a(b)/(c)

The solving of the above expression can be done in the following manner:


\displaystyle(7)/(9) / (4)/(9)\\\\(7)/(9)* (9)/(4)\\\\(7)/(4) =((4* 1) + 3)/(4)= 1(3)/(4)

Comparing the right side of the expression, we have,


a\displaystyle(b)/(c) = 1(3)/(4)

Comparing, we get,

a = 1, b = 3, c = 4

Option B) s the correct option.
