Answer:

7/24 Is The Answer!

Explanation:

Division of fractions is equivalent to multiplication by the reciprocal of the second fraction:

1/4 Divided by 6/7 = 1/4 ₓ 7/6

Once rearranged, multiply all of the numerators by each other. Do the same with the denominators and form a new fraction with these values:

1/4 times 7/6 = 7/24

The result Is

1/4 divided by 6/7 = 7/24
