The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of dividing \( 8 \frac{1}{21} \) by \( 1 \frac{6}{7} \), 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 \( 8 \frac{1}{21} \): \[ 8 \frac{1}{21} = \frac{(8 \times 21) + 1}{21} = \frac{168 + 1}{21} = \frac{169}{21} \] For \( 1 \frac{6}{7} \): \[ 1 \frac{6}{7} = \frac{(1 \times 7) + 6}{7} = \frac{7 + 6}{7} = \frac{13}{7} \] ### Step 2: Set Up the Division Now we can set up the division: \[ \frac{169}{21} \div \frac{13}{7} \] ### Step 3: Change Division to Multiplication To divide by a fraction, we multiply by its reciprocal: \[ \frac{169}{21} \times \frac{7}{13} \] ### Step 4: Multiply the Fractions Now we multiply the fractions: \[ \frac{169 \times 7}{21 \times 13} \] ### Step 5: Simplify the Fractions Before multiplying, we can simplify: - \( 21 = 7 \times 3 \), so we can cancel \( 7 \) in the numerator and denominator: \[ \frac{169 \times 1}{3 \times 13} = \frac{169}{39} \] ### Step 6: Simplify Further Now, we can simplify \( \frac{169}{39} \): - \( 169 = 13 \times 13 \) and \( 39 = 3 \times 13 \), so we can cancel \( 13 \): \[ \frac{13}{3} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the final answer is: \[ \frac{13}{3} \] ---
