Explanation:

Given:

Dividend = 32

Divisor=

To Find:

Quotient=?

Solution:

Let x be the quotient.

`Quotient = (Dividend)/(Divisor)`

Substituting the values,

`Quotient = (38)/((7)/(8))`

Method 1:

Convert the Divisor from fraction to decimal

`( 7)/(8)`=0.875

now

`x=(32)/(0.875)`

x=36.571

Method 2:

`x=(32)/((7)/(8))`

`x=((32*8))/(7)`

`x=(256)/(7)`

x=36.571
