Solving $\frac{17}{11}\div\frac{8}{1}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{17}{11} \div \frac{8}{1} = \frac{17}{11} \times \frac{1}{8}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $17 \times 1 = 17$
• Multiply the Denominators: $11 \times 8 = 88$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{17}{11} \times \frac{8}{1} = \frac{17}{88}$
