Answer:

3.5 or 3 1/2

Explanation:

To make it a fraction form answer, you multiply the dividend numerator by the divisor denominator to make a new numerator.

Furthermore, you multiply the dividend denominator by the divisor numerator to make a new denominator:


(7 * 8)/(8 * 2) =
(56)/(16)

Thus, the answer to 7/8 divided by 2/8 in fraction form is:


(56)/(16)

To make the answer to 7/8 divided by 2/8 in decimal form, you simply divide the numerator by the denominator from the fraction answer above:

56/16 = 3.5

The answer is rounded to the nearest four decimal points if necessary.

56/16 can be simplified to 7/2.

7/2 is an improper fraction and should be written as 3 1/2.
