Answer:

1 1/2

Explanation:

Step 1: Convert to Improper Fractions

Multiply the whole number 7 by the denominator 8.


(7 * 8)/(8) = (56)/(8)

Add the answer from previous step, 56. to the numerator 1.

56 + 1 = 57.

Write answer over the denominator 8.

For the second number:

Multiply the whole number 4 by the denominator 4.


(4 * 4)/(4) = (16)/(4)

Add the answer to the numerator 3.

16 + 3 = 19.

Write previous answer (19) over the denominator 4.

Step 2: Divide

IMPORTANT: To divide one fraction by another, invert (turn upside-down) the second fraction, then multiply.


(57)/(8) * (4)/(19) = (228)/(152) = (3)/(2) = 1(1)/(2)

Final answer is 1 1/2

I'm always happy to help :)
