1/4 divided by 11/8:
To divide a fraction by another fraction, reverse the numerator and denominator of the fraction the first fraction is being divided by. In this case, 1/4 is being divided by 11/8, so we would reverse the numerator and denominator of 11/8, which is 8/11.
Then, we just multiply: %281%2F4%29%288%2F11%29 =
8%2F44. We then break that result down to it's lowest terms.
Final Answer: 2%2F11
