Question

Divide. Write the quotient in lowest terms. 3 3/4 ÷ 5/7

Answer 1

Rewrite 3 3/4 as an improper fraction

3 3/4 = 15/4

Now you have

15/5 / 5/7

When you divide fractions, change the division to multiplication and flip the second fraction over:

15/4 x 7/5

Now multiply the top numbers together and the bottom numbers together:

( 15 x 7) / (4 x 5) = 105/20

Write as a proper fraction:

105/20 = 5 1/4

Answer 2

Answer: 21/4 or 5 1/4

Explanation:
3 3/4 divide by 5/7
= 15/4 x 7/5
= 105/20
= 21/4 or 5 1/4
