You can put this solution on YOUR website! To solve this problem:
3x/4 divided by 5-1/8
You cannot divide the two fractions, you have to multiply the reciprocal of the second fraction, and 5 - 1 = 4:
In this case you flip the second fraction, and then I subtracted 1 from 5.
Next multiply across:
(3x)(8) = 24x
(4)(4) = 16
Simplify, 8 is the largest number that can be divided into both numbers:
24x divided by 8 = 3x
16 divided by 8 = 2
