Question

What is 8 1/2 divided by 3/4

Answer 1

remember

`((a)/(b))/((c)/(d))=(ad)/(bc)`

convert 8 and 1/2 to improper
8 and 1/2=8+1/2=16/2+1/2=17/2

so 8 and 1/2 divided by 3/4
[tex[\frac{\frac{17}{2}}{\frac{3}{4}}=\frac{(17)(4)}{(2)(3)}[/tex]

`(68)/(6)=(34)/(3)=(33)/(3)+(1)/(3)=11+(1)/(3)`
that is 34/3 or 11 and 1/3 or
`11.\overline{3}`

Answer 2

8 1/2 divided by 3/4 equals 33/4 or 11.3 repeating
