Question

Divide. Write your answer in simplest form.
8/7÷4

Answer 1

8/7 ÷ 4/1 = 7/32

Explanation:

4/1 is the same as 4, flip all the Fractions so the bottom number is on the top and top on bottom and then multiply top x top and bottom x bottom

Answer 2

Hey there!

First, let's convert 4 into a fraction:

4=4/1

Now, divide the fractions:

`\bold{\displaystyle(8)/(7) :(4)/(1)}`

Now, flop the second fraction over and multiply the first fraction times the second one:

`\bold{\displaystyle(8)/(7) *(1)/(4)}`

Multiply the numerator (8) times the numerator of the second fraction (1) and multiply the denominator (7) times the denominator of the second fraction (4):

`\bold{\displaystyle(8)/(28)}}`

Also, this fraction can be reduced:

`\bold{\displaystyle(4)/(14)}`

We can divide by 2 again.

Hence, the answer is

`\boxed{\boxed{\bold{\displaystyle(2)/(7)} }}}`

Hope everything is clear.

Let me know if you have any questions!
