Question

$$\frac { - 7 } { 8 } \div \frac { - 3 } { 6 }$$

Evaluate

$\frac{7}{4}=1.75$

Solution Steps

Divide $\frac{-7}{8}$ by $\frac{-3}{6}$ by multiplying $\frac{-7}{8}$ by the reciprocal of $\frac{-3}{6}$.

$$\frac{-7\times 6}{8\left(-3\right)}$$

Cancel out $2\times 3$ in both numerator and denominator.

$$\frac{-7}{-4}$$

Fraction $\frac{-7}{-4}$ can be simplified to $\frac{7}{4}$ by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$\frac{7}{4}$$

Factor

$\frac{7}{2 ^ {2}} = 1\frac{3}{4} = 1.75$
