Answer:

10 2/3 = 10.6667

27 1/2 = 27.5

Explanation:

8 ÷ 3/4

Convert any mixed numbers to fractions.

Then your initial equation becomes:


(8)/(1) ÷
(3)/(4)

Applying the fractions formula for division,


=(8*4)/(1*3)

=
(32)/(3)

Simplifying 32/3, the answer is


10 (2)/(3)

Decimal Form = 10.6667
