Let's take our 2 fractions and divide:
a | |
b |
÷ |
c |
d |
Multiply by the reciprocal
a x d | |
b x c |
a = 45,
b = 2,
c = 1,
d = 8, so we have:
45 x 8 | |
2 x 1 |
360 | |
2 |
(1/2) x 360 = 180
(1/2) x 2 = 1
Since our reduced answer is a whole number, we remove the one from the denominator and write it as:
Answer = 180
