Answer 1

Sandra, this is the solution:

3/14 / 2/7

We use the multiplicative inverse or reciprocal and convert the division in a multiplication, as follows:

7/2 is the reciprocal or multiplicative inverse of 2/7

3/14 * 7/2

And now:

3 * 7 = 21 in the numerator

14 * 2 = 28 in the denominator

21/28 that we can simplify, this way:

21/28 = 3/4

3/14 divided by 2/7 equal to 3/4
