Divide: 7/8 1/2?

Question

a) 8/4
b) 7/16
c) 8/10
d) 1 3/4

Answer 1

7/8 divided by 1/2 is the same as multiplying but you take the reciprocal of the second value.

7/8 divided by 1/2 is the same as
7/8 times 1/2
(7/8) (1/2) = 7/16

Answer 2

D, 1 and 3/4

To divide you just multiply the reciprocal ( the flipped version) of the second fraction, so you'd have 7/8*2/1 (or 7/8*2, as 2/1 is the same as the whole number 2)

7/8* 2 is 14/8, which when simplified is 1 and 6/8, simplified again it's 1 and 3/4

So the equation you used for this is 7/8*2/1=1 3/4

Answer 3

7/8 divided by 1/2 is the same as 7/8 times 2/1, which would be 14/8, or 7/4, or d) 1 3/4

Answer 4

Dividing a fragment is comparable to inverting it and multiplying: 7/8 ÷ a million/2 = 7/8 × 2/a million = (7×2)/(8×a million) = 14/8 it fairly is a vulgar (i.e. precise heavy) fraction, and may well be simplified: 14/8 = (8+6)/8 = a million 6/8 = a million 3/4

Answer 5

7/8 divided by 1/2
7/8 multiply 2/1
7/4 = 1 3/4

the answer would be d) 1 3/4

hope that helped!

Answer 6

7/8 divided by 1/2 is the same thing as:

7/8 * 2/1 = 14/8 = 1 6/8 = 1 3/4

when you have two fractions divided by each other, you flip the bottom fraction (it's reciprocal) and multiply it to the top fraction
