Answer is 36.571
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Dividend = 32
Divisor=[tex]\frac{ 7}{8}[/tex]
To Find:
Quotient=?
Solution:
Let x be the quotient.
[tex]Quotient = \frac{Dividend}{Divisor}[/tex]
Substituting the values,
[tex]Quotient = \frac{38}{\frac{7}{8}}[/tex]
Method 1:
Convert the Divisor from fraction to decimal
[tex]\frac{ 7}{8}[/tex]=0.875
now
[tex]x=\frac{32}{0.875}[/tex]
x=36.571
Method 2:
[tex]x=\frac{32}{\frac{7}{8}}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{(32\times8)}{7}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{256}{7}[/tex]
x=36.571
