Question 667347
Is this
{{{(1/2)(7/8)}}}
...
{{{highlight((1*7)/(2*8) = (7/16))}}}
...
Or is this 
{{{1/((2*7)/8) = 1(8/(2*7))}}} Knowing that dividing is the same a multiplying the inverse
{{{1(8/(2*7)) = 1(4cross(8)/7cross(14)) = 4/7}}}
{{{highlight(4/7)}}}
...
See why it is important to use parentheses when posting your questions?  
It could mean the difference between not getting a response to your question 
or the wrong answer.
