Question

5 1/4 divided by 7/8 work this problem please

Answer 1

As I taught you before, that we have to multiply it by the inverse of 7/8 which is 8/7.

But, before we have to convert the mixed fraction into a simple fraction.

We have to multiply the denominator by the whole number, add the numerator to the product obtained before and leave the same denominator.

`5\text{ }(1)/(4)=(((4*5)+1))/(4)=(21)/(4)`

Now, we can proceed to do the division or the product of the inverse.

`((21)/(4))/((7)/(8))=(21)/(4)((8)/(7))=(168)/(28)=(84)/(14)=(42)/(7)=6`

The answer is 6
