Answer: 11/16

Turn 1 7/8 into an Improper Fraction

Multiply 1×8 and get 8. Now add 7 and get 15.

1 7/8 = 15/8

Turn 2 8/11 into an Improper Fraction

Multiply 2×11 and get 22. Now add 8 and get 30.

2 8/11 = 30/11

Do Keep Change Flip

Keep: 15/8

Change ÷ into ×

Flip: 30/11 into 11/30

Your New Problem: 15/8×11/30

Multiply

15/8×11/30=165/240

Simplify

165/240÷15/15=11/16

Answer:


= (11)/(16)

Explanation:


1 (7)/(8) / 2 (8)/(11) \\ (15)/(8) / (30)/(11) \\ (15)/(8) * (11)/(30) \\ = (165)/(240) \\ = (11)/(16)
