If you divide 3 ¾ to 1 ¼ what is quotient​

Sagot :

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

In dividing fractions, you have to change the divisor (1/4) into its reciprocal and make the equation multiplication.

The reciprocal of 1/4 is 4/1

Hence, the equation will be:

3/4 x 4/1

Multiply the numerator to the numerator:

3 × 4 = 12

and the denominator to the denominator:

4 × 1 = 4

Therefore, 3/4 x 4/1 is 12/4. But, since 12/4 is still NOT in lowest term we have to simplify it by dividing 12 by 4.

12 ÷ 4 = 3

THEREFORE, the answer is 3.
