First, change each mixed fraction into improper
2 3/8 = 19/8
1 3/4 = 7/4
The problem will look like: (19/8)/(7/4)
To solve, flip the second fraction, and change the division sign into a multiplication sign.
(19/8)/(7/4) = (19/8) x (4/7)
Multiply across
(19/8) x (4/7) = 76/56
Simplify.
76/56 simplified = 19/14
Change to mixed fraction
19/14 = 14/14 + 5/14 = 1 5/14
1 5/14 is your answer

2. There are 18 other bottles in the fridge, because .6 of 30 is 18. 30 – 18 is 12, so there are 12 bottles of orange juice and cranberry juice.
4. If the probability of an event is 25%, then the probability of <em>not</em> that event is the other part of 100%. In other words, 1 – .25 = .75.
