Sagot :
1 divided by (7/8) is the same as 1 times (8/7). Dividing is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal.
1 * (8/7) = 8/7
1 * (8/7) = 8/7
I'm guessing that you've probably learned how to divide fractions by now. The
problem you're having with this one is that one of the numbers is not a fraction.
That's no big deal. Go ahead and MAKE it one.
' 1 ' is exactly the same number as ' 1 / 1 '.
Now you have one fraction divided by another fraction. I'm pretty sure you
know how to do that: Flip the second fraction over, and then multiply them.
( 1 / 1 ) divided by ( 7 / 8 ) = ( 1 / 1 ) times ( 8 / 7) Answer: 8 / 7 .
Hey ! Look what else you just learned from this problem !
( 1 ) divided by (any fraction) = (flip the fraction over)
You should memorize that. You'll use it for years and years, millions
of times.
It's used so often, there's a special name for it.
1/(any number) is called the "reciprocal" of the number.
[ ree - SIP - ra - kl ]
If the number is a fraction, just flip the fraction over to get its reciprocal.
Learning that was much more important than getting the answer to
1 divided by 7/8 .
