Answer
$\frac{4}{31}$
Work Step by Step
x $\div$ y; x = $\frac{1}{2}$, y = 3$\frac{7}{8}$
Plug $\frac{1}{2}$ in for x and 3$\frac{7}{8}$ in for y:
x $\div$ y = $\frac{1}{2}$ $\div$ 3$\frac{7}{8}$
To solve, convert 3$\frac{7}{8}$ into an improper fraction and then multiply by the reciprocal of this improper fraction:
$\frac{1}{2}$ $\div$ $\frac{31}{8}$
$\frac{1}{2}$ $\times$ $\frac{8}{31}$ = $\frac{8}{62}$
Reduce by dividing numerators and denominators by 2:
$\frac{8\div2}{62\div2}$ = $\frac{4}{31}$
