Answer: 37 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
14/1÷3/8=?
Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal (inverse) of the second fraction.
Take the reciprocal of the second fraction by flipping the numerator and denominator and changing the operation to multiplication. Then the equation becomes
14/1 × 8/3=?
For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get
14×8/1×3 = 112/3
This fraction cannot be reduced.
The fraction
112/3
is the same as
112÷3
Convert to a mixed number using
long division so
112/3=37 1/3
Therefore:
14/1 ÷ 3/8=37 1/3

Answer:
The number is 42.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the unknown number.
"two less than a number" is x - 2
Quotient means the result of a division.
(x - 2)/5 = 8
Multiply both sides by 5.
x - 2 = 40
Add 2 to both sides.
x = 42
Answer: The number is 42.
Check.
Start with 42. 2 less than 42 is 40. The quotient of 40 and 5 is 40/5 which is 8. The answer is correct.
The answer for the question is x=1
