49/24 of 15/14 is just their product, thus

$\bf \cfrac{49}{24}\cdot \cfrac{15}{14}\implies \cfrac{49\cdot 15}{24\cdot 14}\implies \cfrac{35}{16}$

Answer 2

Answer: $\dfrac{35}{16}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To compute : $\dfrac{49}{24}\text{ of }\dfrac{15}{14}$

We need to replace 'of' by '×' , we get

$\dfrac{49}{24}\times\dfrac{15}{14}$

$=\dfrac{49\times15}{24\times14}$

$=\dfrac{7\times7\times3\times5}{3\times8\times2\times7}$

Cancel out a 7 and 3 from numerator and denominator , we get

$=\dfrac{7\times5}{8\times2}\\\\=\dfrac{35}{16}$ ( improper form)

Hence, the answer = $\dfrac{35}{16}$
