To do this sort of calculation with fractions, it is necessary to turn them into improper (or 'top heavy') fractions.... 31/4 = 13/4 11/8 = 9/8 Now we can set out the calculation in the normal manner.... 13/4 ÷ 9/8 But, when we are dealing with fractions we don't do division in the normal way, what is done is to invert the divisor and treat the caluclation as a multiplication. This changes the calculation to this.... 13/4 x 8/9 and we can then multiply the 13 by the 8, and the 4 by the 9 and we get 104/36 which can be simplified to 26/9, or 28/9.
6 divided by a 1/4 = 24

1/4 divided by 8 = 1/(4*8) = 1/32
"ONE" is divided into 4 parts. one portion of this 4 parts is called 1/4 (One Quarter).
1/4 / 2 = 1/8 or one eighth.
one quarter is 1/4 (one divided by four) 1/4 = 0.25
One quarter divided by one quarter is one (unity). Any quantity divided by itself gives the result of unity, where unity means 1 The result of 12 divided by 6 is 2, can be asked in a different way, "How many sixes are there in twelve?" - and the anser is 2 Similarly asking "how many quarters are there in a quarter" gives the answer 2

1/2 divided by 2 = a quarter
(1 / 8) / 8 = 1/64
