Full solution

Q. Evaluate.\newline27÷49= \frac{2}{7} \div \frac{4}{9}=
  1. Understand the operation: Understand the operation to be performed.\newlineWe need to divide the fraction (27)(\frac{2}{7}) by the fraction (49)(\frac{4}{9}). In mathematical terms, this is written as (27)÷(49)(\frac{2}{7}) \div (\frac{4}{9}).
  2. Convert division to multiplication: Convert the division of fractions into multiplication.\newlineTo divide by a fraction, we multiply by its reciprocal. The reciprocal of (49)(\frac{4}{9}) is (94)(\frac{9}{4}).\newline(27)÷(49)=(27)×(94)(\frac{2}{7}) \div (\frac{4}{9}) = (\frac{2}{7}) \times (\frac{9}{4})
  3. Multiply numerators and denominators: Multiply the numerators and denominators.\newlineMultiply the numerators: 2×9=182 \times 9 = 18\newlineMultiply the denominators: 7×4=287 \times 4 = 28\newlineSo, (2/7)×(9/4)=(18/28)(2/7) \times (9/4) = (18/28)
  4. Simplify the fraction: Simplify the fraction, if possible.\newlineBoth the numerator and the denominator are divisible by 22.\newline18÷2=918 \div 2 = 9\newline28÷2=1428 \div 2 = 14\newlineSo, (1828)(\frac{18}{28}) simplifies to (914)(\frac{9}{14}).
