Math Problem Statement

1/3 divided by 1/4

Solution

To divide fractions, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

13÷14=13×41=1×43×1=43\frac{1}{3} \div \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{4}{1} = \frac{1 \times 4}{3 \times 1} = \frac{4}{3}

So, 13÷14=43\frac{1}{3} \div \frac{1}{4} = \frac{4}{3}.
