Answer:

When dividing by a fraction, you can simply treat it as multiplying by the reciprocal of that fraction.

As an example, dividing 3/1 by 7/8 would be like multiplying 3/1 with 8/7, which is the reciprocal of 7/8.

Hence, the answer in your case would be 24/7. (Nice coincidence...?)

Explanation:

Hope this helped!
