$\frac{7}{49}\div \frac{2}{14}=$

Possible Answers:

196

$\frac{2}{94}$

$1\frac{3}{4}$

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Change division to multiplication by flipping the second fraction. Then, simplify and perform the multiplication.

$\frac{7}{49}\div \frac{2}{14}=$

$\frac{7}{49}\times \frac{14}{2}= \frac{1}{7}\times \frac{7}{1}=\frac{7}{7}=1$

The answer is 1.

$2\frac{7}{9}$

$1\frac{2}{3}$

$3\frac{1}{3}$

Correct answer:

$2\frac{22}{27}$

Explanation:

First convert each fraction into an improper fraction.

$\frac{76}{6}\div \frac{18}{4}=$

Then flip the second fraction, reduce and multiply:

$\frac{76}{6}\ast \frac{4}{18}=$

The answer is $2\frac{22}{27}$ .

Example Question #501 : Numbers And Operations

Divide:

$\frac{4}{9}\div \frac{2}{3}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{4}{}9$

$\frac{1}{}3$

$\frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{7}{}9$

$\frac{3}{4}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{2}{3}$

Explanation:

The first step in dividing fractions is to make the second fraction a reciprocal (flip it) and then rewrite the problem as a multiplication problem: $\left(\frac{4}{9}\times \frac{3}{2}\right)$ .

You can cross-reduce so that the problem now becomes $\left(\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{1}{1}\right)$ . Then, mulitply straight across so that your answer is $\frac{2}{3}$ .

Example Question #21 : How To Divide Fractions

What is the below expression equal to?

$\frac{3}{5}\div \frac{2}{7}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{10}{21}$

$\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{21}{10}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{21}{10}$

Explanation:

When one fraction is being divided by another, the latter fraction must be inverted. The numerators are then multiplied by each other, and the denominators are also multiplied by each other.

$\frac{3}{5}\div \frac{2}{7}$

$\frac{3}{5}\cdot \frac{7}{2}=\frac{21}{10}$

Example Question #24 : How To Divide Fractions

What is the value of in this equation?

$\frac{9}{5}\div \frac{5}{7}=x$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{7}{9}$

$\frac{9}{7}$

$\frac{25}{63}$

$\frac{63}{25}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{63}{25}$

Explanation:

In order to solve $\frac{9}{5}\div \frac{5}{7}$ , the latter fraction must be inverted and then multiplied by the first fraction, as shown below:

$\frac{9}{5}\cdot \frac{7}{5} = \frac{63}{25}$

Example Question #22 : How To Divide Fractions

What is the solution to the expression below?

$\frac{1}{4}\div \frac{9}{17}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{36}{17}$

$\frac{3}{12}$

$\frac{17}{36}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{17}{36}$

Explanation:

When one fraction is being divided by another, the latter fraction must be inverted. The numerators are then multiplied together, and the denominators are also multiplied by each other.

$\frac{1}{4}\div \frac{9}{17}$

$\frac{1}{4}\div \frac{17}{9}$

$\frac{17}{36}$

Example Question #21 : Fractions

$\small \frac{1}{7}\div\frac{2}{3}$

Possible Answers:

$\small \frac{2}{21}$

$\small \frac{3}{14}$

$\small \frac{14}{3}$

$\small \frac{3}{11}$

$\small \frac{21}{2}$

Correct answer:

$\small \frac{3}{14}$

Explanation:

$\small \frac{1}{7}\div\frac{2}{3}$

To divide fractions, we multiply by the reciprocal. In order to find the reciprocal, we simply flip the fraction over. The numerator becomes the denominator and the denominator becomes the numerator.

$\small \frac{1}{7}\times\frac{3}{2}=\frac{3}{14}$
