70/23 or 3 1/23


Turn 8 3/4 and 2 7/8 into an improper fraction
35/4 and 23/8
Copy past flip
35/4 x 8/23= 280/92
And then simply 70/23 or 3 1/23

Answer:

see below:-

Explanation:


\displaystyle{8 (3)/(4) / 2 (7)/(8) }

  • Convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions.


\displaystyle{ (8 * 4 + 3)/(4) / (8 * 2 + 7)/(8) }


\displaystyle{ (32 + 3)/(4) / (16 + 7)/(8) }


\displaystyle{ (35)/(4) / (23)/(8) }


\displaystyle{ (35)/(4) * (8)/(23) }


\displaystyle{ (35)/( \cancel4) * \frac{ \cancel8 {}^(2) }{23} }


\displaystyle{ (35 * 2)/(23) }


\displaystyle{ (70)/(23) }


\displaystyle{3 (1)/(23) }
