Question

What is 3/8 divided by 7/16

Answer 1

we are given

$\frac{\frac{3}{8}}{\frac{7}{16}}$

we can use formula

$\frac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}{d}}=\frac{a*d}{b*c}$

$\frac{3*16}{8*7}}$

now, we can simplify it

and we get

$\frac{3*2}{1*7}}$

$\frac{6}{7}}$..............Answer

Answer 2

Here's something to keep in mind: Keep, Change, flip.

Keep 3/8. Change the division sign to multiplcation. And flip 7/16 around. Like this:

3/8 x 16/7 Now it's easyer. Just multiply across.

3 x 16 = 48

8 x 7 =56

= 48/56

3/8 divided by 7/16 = 48/56
