divide fractions (reduce to lowest terms or tenths) 22 3/4÷1/8

Sagot :

Given the expression:

[tex]\text{ 22}\frac{\text{ 3}}{4}\text{ }\div\text{ }\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

To be able to divide the given fractions, let's first convert the mixed number into an improper fraction.

[tex]\text{ 22 }\frac{3}{4}\text{ = }\frac{3\text{ + (22 x 4)}}{4}\text{ = }\frac{3\text{ + 88}}{4}[/tex][tex]\text{ 22 }\frac{3}{4}\text{ = }\frac{91}{4}[/tex]

Let's now proceed with the division.

In dividing fractions, you reciprocate the divisor and transform the operation from division into multiplication.

We get,

[tex]\text{ 22}\frac{\text{ 3}}{4}\text{ }\div\text{ }\frac{1}{8}\text{ = }\frac{91}{4}\text{ }\div\text{ }\frac{1}{8}\text{ }[/tex][tex]\text{ = }\frac{91}{4}\text{ x }\frac{8}{1}\text{ }[/tex][tex]\text{ = }\frac{91\text{ x 8}}{4\text{ x 1}}\text{ = }\frac{728}{4}[/tex][tex]\text{ = }182[/tex]

Therefore, the answer is 182.
