What divided by 7/8 equals 7/1?

Here we will show you how to calculate "what" in this sentence: "What divided by 7/8 equals 7/1?" We start by making this word problem into an algebraic equation where "what" is the variable "x".

x / (7/8) = (7/1)

To solve this equation, we want x alone on the left side of the equation so we start by multiplying (7/8) on both sides like this:

(x / (7/8)) • 7/8 = (7/1) • (7/8)

(x / (7/8)) • 7/8 leaves x and (7/1) • (7/8) is 6 1/8 which means we end up with this x = 6 1/8. Therefore, the answer to "What divided by 7/8 equals 7/1?" is as follows:

6 1/8

It is always good to double-check your math to make sure you did it right. When we entered 6 1/8 for x in this equation x / (7/8) = (7/1), we get the following true equation which means our math is correct.

(6 1/8) / (7/8) = (7/1)
