Result

Answer

\frac{4}{5} \div \frac{3}{4} = \textcolor{#0b5c56}{\frac{16}{15} = 1\frac{1}{15}}

The quotient is 16/15 in simplest form, or 1 1/15 as a mixed number.

  • Decimal: \displaystyle 1.0\overline{6} (the 6 repeats forever, about 1.0667)
  • Percent: 106.67%

1 whole + 1 of 15 equal parts

Step-by-step solution

The problem

\frac{4}{5} \div \frac{3}{4}
  1. Flip \displaystyle \frac{3}{4} and multiply. Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal (the fraction turned upside down).

    \frac{3}{4} \;\rightarrow\; \frac{4}{3}
    = \textcolor{#0b5c56}{\frac{4}{5}} \times \textcolor{#0b5c56}{\frac{4}{3}}
  2. Multiply. Top times top, bottom times bottom.

    = \frac{4 \times 4}{5 \times 3} = \textcolor{#0b5c56}{\frac{16}{15}}
  3. Check that it can't be simplified. 16 and 15 have no common factor other than 1, so this is the simplest form.

    \text{GCF}(16, 15) = 1
  4. Write it as a mixed number. Divide: 15 goes into 16 1 time with 1 left over. The whole number is 1, the remainder 1 becomes the numerator, and the denominator stays 15.

    16 \div 15 = 1\ \text{R}\ 1
    = \textcolor{#0b5c56}{1\frac{1}{15}}

All the working together

\begin{aligned} &\frac{4}{5} \div \frac{3}{4} \\[8pt] &= \frac{4}{5} \times \frac{4}{3} && \textcolor{#5b6660}{\textsf{flip}} \\[8pt] &= \frac{4 \times 4}{5 \times 3} && \textcolor{#5b6660}{\textsf{multiply}} \\[8pt] &= \frac{16}{15} \\[8pt] &= \textcolor{#0b5c56}{1\frac{1}{15}} && \textcolor{#5b6660}{\textsf{mixed number}}\end{aligned}
