Answer is  36.571

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Dividend =  32

Divisor=$\frac{ 7}{8}$

To Find:

Quotient=?

Solution:

Let x be the quotient.

$Quotient = \frac{Dividend}{Divisor}$

Substituting the values,

$Quotient = \frac{38}{\frac{7}{8}}$

Method 1:

Convert the Divisor from fraction to decimal

$\frac{ 7}{8}$=0.875

now

$x=\frac{32}{0.875}$

x=36.571

Method 2:

$x=\frac{32}{\frac{7}{8}}$

$x=\frac{(32\times8)}{7}$

$x=\frac{256}{7}$

x=36.571

Answer 2

7/8 is 0.875 so it would be about 36.57
