A practical way of dividing two fractions is by keeping the fraction on the left of the division symbol (dividend) unchanged, changing the ÷ for a × (multiplication) and flipping the divisor (the fraction on the right side of the ÷ symbol), then for the given quotient, we get:

2/11 ÷ 1/4 = 2/11 × 4/1 = 2/11 × 4 = (2×4)/11 = 8/11

Then, the result is 8/11
