Answer: 8 8/11

Explanation:

When dividing fractions, we follow a rule called "Keep, change, flip"

Basically, the 32/17 will stay the same, the division becomes multiplication, and the 11/51 becomes 51/11.

32 * 51 = 1632

17 * 11 = 187

We're left with this fraction: 1632/187

To simplify: First, we find the GCF (greatest common factor)

Factors of 187: 1, 11, 17, 187

Factors of 1632: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12,16, 17, 24, ect ect.

The GCF is 17.

Divide both 1632 and 187 by 17:

96/11 is the simplest form.

We can turn 96/11 into a mixed number: 8 8/11
