Would it not be easier just to say:
(6/7) / (3/14) ?
= (6/7)(14/3)
= 84/21
= 4
Of course, once changed to multiplication,
I would have divided top and bottom by 7 , then divided top and
bottom by 3, leaving me with 4

In this case, you are given the fractions:
6/7 and 3/14
To divide the numerators, you perform the following calculation:
6 Ă· 3 = 2
To divide the denominators, you perform the following calculation:
7 Ă· 14 = 1/2
Therefore, the quotient of the two fractions is 2 Ă· 1/2.
To simplify this division, you multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator:
2 Ă— 2/1 = 4/1
So, the quotient of the fractions 6/7 and 3/14 is 4.
