• A. $\frac{56}{16}$
• B. $\frac{7}{2}$
• C. $\frac{15}{16}$
• D. $\frac{15}{8}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B

$\frac{7}{2}$

As per the question, we have to divide $\frac{7}{8}$ by $\frac{2}{8}$.
$\frac{7}{8}÷\frac{2}{8}=\frac{7}{8}\times \frac{8}{2}=\frac{7}{2}$
Now, the only common factor between 2 and 7 is 1.
Hence, $\frac{7}{8}$ divided by $\frac{2}{8}$ in its simplest form is $\frac{7}{2}$.
