You can put this solution on YOUR website!
this is simple. you find how many times 19 goes into 7. that is what? 2. so you write 2 as a big number:
2___ (the blank represents the fraction part)
from there, you have to find how many's left till u get to 19. basically, you r doing 19-14. u get 5. that is ur numerator, and ur denominator is the same (7).
ur answer is:
2 5/7
