The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem \( 32 \frac{1}{2} \div 8 \frac{3}{4} \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert Mixed Numbers to Improper Fractions First, we need to convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions. - For \( 32 \frac{1}{2} \): \[ 32 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{32 \times 2 + 1}{2} = \frac{64 + 1}{2} = \frac{65}{2} \] - For \( 8 \frac{3}{4} \): \[ 8 \frac{3}{4} = \frac{8 \times 4 + 3}{4} = \frac{32 + 3}{4} = \frac{35}{4} \] ### Step 2: Set Up the Division of Fractions Now we can set up the division: \[ \frac{65}{2} \div \frac{35}{4} \] ### Step 3: Change Division to Multiplication To divide by a fraction, we multiply by its reciprocal: \[ \frac{65}{2} \times \frac{4}{35} \] ### Step 4: Multiply the Fractions Now, we multiply the numerators and the denominators: \[ \frac{65 \times 4}{2 \times 35} = \frac{260}{70} \] ### Step 5: Simplify the Fraction Next, we simplify \( \frac{260}{70} \): - Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 260 and 70, which is 10. - Divide both the numerator and the denominator by 10: \[ \frac{260 \div 10}{70 \div 10} = \frac{26}{7} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the result of \( 32 \frac{1}{2} \div 8 \frac{3}{4} \) is: \[ \frac{26}{7} \] ---
