Question 339950
four and three eighths divided by one and three fourths?
<pre>
I will assume you know how to change a mixed fraction to an
improper fraction, and how to change an improper fraction to
a mixed number.  If you don't know how, post again asking
how.

{{{4&3/8}}}{{{"÷"}}}{{{1&3/4}}}

Change to improper fractions:

{{{35/8}}}{{{"÷"}}}{{{7/4}}}

Change division to multiplication by inverting the second fraction:

{{{35/8}}}{{{"×"}}}{{{4/7}}}

Cancel the 7 into the 35 getting 5 on top:

 {{{5}}}
{{{cross(35)/8}}}{{{"×"}}}{{{4/cross(7)}}}

Cancel the 4 into the 8 getting 2 on the bottom:

 {{{5}}}
{{{cross(35)/cross(8)}}}{{{"×"}}}{{{cross(4)/cross(7)}}}
 {{{2}}}

So what's left is

{{{5/2}}}

Change that to a mixed number:

{{{2&1/2}}}
