What is 38/17 Divided By 7/2

Solving $\frac{38}{17}\div\frac{7}{2}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{38}{17} \div \frac{7}{2} = \frac{38}{17} \times \frac{2}{7}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $38 \times 2 = 76$
• Multiply the Denominators: $17 \times 7 = 119$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{38}{17} \times \frac{7}{2} = \frac{76}{119}$
