Full solution

Q. Divide. \newline78÷14=\frac{7}{8}\div\frac{1}{4}=_____
  1. Multiply fractions by reciprocal: To divide one fraction by another, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. 78÷14=78×41\frac{7}{8} \div \frac{1}{4} = \frac{7}{8} \times \frac{4}{1}
  2. Multiply numerators and denominators: Now, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.\newline78×41=(7×4)(8×1)=288\frac{7}{8} \times \frac{4}{1} = \frac{(7 \times 4)}{(8 \times 1)} = \frac{28}{8}
  3. Simplify fraction: Simplify the fraction.\newlineThe fraction 288\frac{28}{8} can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 44.\newline288=(28÷4)(8÷4)\frac{28}{8} = \frac{(28 \div 4)}{(8 \div 4)}=72= \frac{7}{2}
