Divide 7/24 by 35/48 and reduce the quotient to the lowest fraction.
1) Flip fraction 35/48 giving you 48/35. When you do this, you will be multiplying instead of dividing.
2) 7/24 times 48/35. Cross simplify the two fractions resulting with 1/4 times 8/6.
3) Multiply across from left to right giving you 8/24.
4) Simplify. 1/3
