Answer:

7/3

Explanation:

8 1/3 divided by 3 4/7

Let’s start by 8 1/3

Multiply 3 x 8 and then add 1

3 x 8 = 24 + 1 = 25

Add the denominator back

25/3

3 4/7

Multiply 7 x 3 and then add 4

7 x 3 = 21 + 4 = 25

Add the denominator back

25/7

Final Results: 25/3 & 25/7

Now we’re ready to divide!

Multiply 7 by 25

7 x 25 = 175

Multiply 3 by 25

3 x 25 = 75

Answer: 175/75

Finally Simplify

175/75 = 7/3

Final Answer: 7/3
