Step-by-step explanation:

4 1/2 ÷ 1/8

To solve the above expression, first we convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction:

9/2 ÷ 1/8

Then, we apply the KCF:

Keep the first fraction = 9/2

Change the sign to multiplication

Flip the second fraction


\begin{gathered} (9)/(2)/\text{ }(1)/(8) \\ \text{flip 1/8 = 8/1} \\ =\text{ }(9)/(2)*(8)/(1) \\ \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} =\text{ 72/2} \\ =\text{ 36} \end{gathered}
