How do I calculate = 80 : 3/7 =

Question

Don’t just give me the answer, please explain to me how to get to it. I would highly appreciate it!

Answer 1

Every person should know this: to divide any number by a fraction, you multiply the number by the RECIPROCAL of that fraction.

 

So if you meant eighty divided by (in ratio to) 3/7, you calculate 80(7/3) = 560/7 which you can finish by long division on paper or by use a calculator.
