Question 283787
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:

{{{(3x/4)(8/4)}}}

In this case you flip the second fraction, and then I subtracted 1 from 5.

Next multiply across:
(3x)(8) = 24x
(4)(4) = 16

{{{24x/16}}}

Simplify, 8 is the largest number that can be divided into both numbers:

24x divided by 8 = 3x
16 divided by 8 = 2

{{{3x/2}}}
