Answer:

8/7 ÷ 4/1 = 7/32

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!

:-)
