To divide a number c by a fraction a / b is equal to:
c c X b
--------- = ---------
a a
-----
b
Therefore, 7 divided by 1 over 8, using above for c = 7, a = 1 and b = 8 is:
7 * 8
------- = 56
1
7/10 divided by 1/8 = 56/10 (simplest form)= 5 1/6
5 over 8
7/8 ÷ 32/1 = 7/256
7/8 ÷ 21 = 1/24
That's the same as 7/8 x 4/1 = 28/8 or 7/2 or 3 and 1/2
3/8 divided by 1/5 = 1 7/8 or 1.875
21/24 = 7/8 So the question can be reworded as 7/8 divided by 7/8 and since any non-zero number divided by itself is 1, the answer is 1.
1/2 ÷ 7/8 = 4/7
7/10 divided by 1/8 = 56/10 (simplest form)= 5 1/6
5 over 8
7/32
1
7/8 ÷ 32/1 = 7/256
7/8 ÷ 21 = 1/24
7/8 ÷ 1/20 = 7/8 × 20/1 = 140/8 = 17½
That's the same as 7/8 x 4/1 = 28/8 or 7/2 or 3 and 1/2
35/8 or 4 and 3/8
