Answer:

1 1/4

Explanation:

34÷710=?

Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal (inverse) of the second fraction.

Take the reciprocal of the second fraction by flipping the numerator and denominator and changing the operation to multiplication. Then the equation becomes

34×107=?

For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get

3×104×7=3028

This fraction can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 30 and 28 using

GCF(30,28) = 2

30÷228÷2=1514

The fraction

1514

is the same as

15÷14

Convert to a mixed number using

long division for 15 ÷ 14 = 1R1, so

1514=1114

Therefore:

34÷710=1 1/4
