Let's take our 2 fractions and divide:
a | |
b |
÷ |
c |
d |
Multiply by the reciprocal
a x d | |
b x c |
a = 7,
b = 2,
c = 1,
d = 4, so we have:
7 x 4 | |
2 x 1 |
28 | |
2 |
(1/2) x 28 = 14
(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 = 14
