Answer

3(1/2) or (7/2) or 3.5

Explanation

The question wants us to divide (7/8) by (1/4).


(7)/(8)/(1)/(4)

The first step to solving division when it comes to fractions is to change the division sign to multiplication sign, which changes the fraction after the division sign to its inverse.

That is, in changing ÷ into ×, (1/4) changes to (4/1)

So,


\begin{gathered} (7)/(8)/(1)/(4) \\ =(7)/(8)*(4)/(1) \\ =(28)/(8) \\ =(7)/(2) \\ =3(1)/(2) \end{gathered}

Hope this Help!!!
