Question

Does 7/8÷3/8=7/3=2 1/3

Answer 1

Hello!

Answer:

`\Large \boxed{\sf 2(1)/(3) }`

Explanation:

We want to simplify:

`(7)/(8) / (3)/(8)`

Transform the division in multiplication:

`(7)/(8) * (8)/(3)`

Simplify the multiplication:

`\sf (7 * 8)/(8*3) = (56)/(24)`

Simplify the fraction:

`\sf (56)/(24) = (7 * 8)/(3 * 8) = (7)/(3)`

Transform the fraction:

`\sf (7)/(3) = 2 ~remainder~ 1`

We have this formula:

`\sf quotient = (remainder)/(divisor)`

Apply this formula in our fraction:

`\sf (7)/(3) = 2(1)/(3)`

So your answer is good.
