Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The simplest form is  $\frac{4}{1}$ or 4

Solution:

Given, $8\frac{1}{6}$ divided by  $2\frac{1}{24}$

$8\frac{1}{6}$$\div$  $2\frac{1}{24}$

$\frac{8\times6+1}{6}$$\div$ $\frac{2\times24+1}{24}$

we get,

$\frac{49}{6}\div\frac{49}{24}$

When two terms are in division, we have to reciprocate the second term,

The reciprocal of $\frac{49}{24} is \frac{24}{49}$

Substituting the reciprocal form of$\frac{49}{24}$ in the equation we get,

$\frac{49}{6}\times \frac{24}{49}$

On dividing the possible terms we get,

$\frac{4}{1}$

The simplest form of the given value is $\frac{4}{1}$ or 4
