How do I divide 2/3 and 1 3/4?

Posted at: 2014-12-18 
2/3 divided by 1 3/4

first, convert 1 3/4 to a fraction:

2/3 divided by 7/4

then change 7/4 to its reciprocal and change the problem into a multiplication problem:

2/3 * 4/7

multiply the top times the top, and the bottom times the bottom:

8/21

First, make 1 3/4 a fraction.

So that's going to be 7/4.

(2/3)/(7/4)

"When you divide fractions, don't ask why, just flip the second, and multiply."

So (2/3)/(7/4) = (2/3)*(4/7)

Multiply top number times top number and bottom number by bottom number.

8/21.

There's your answer :)

turn into improper fraction then flip to its reciporical

.6666/1.75
