4/7 divided 8/7
so far i inverted the second to get 4/7 X 7/8 = 28/56 now what do i do?
Now you reduce 28/56 to its lowest term.
Hint: 28 goes into both 28 and 56 evenly.

No. 28/56 = 1/2
To divide and simplify 4/7 by 8/7, you have done the correct step of inverting the second fraction. Now, you can multiply both fractions to get the result.
First, multiply the numerators (top numbers) together: 4 x 7 = 28. Then, multiply the denominators (bottom numbers) together: 7 x 8 = 56.
So, the resulting fraction is 28/56.
To simplify this fraction, you can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator, which in this case is 28.
Dividing both the numerator and denominator by the GCD of 28, you get:
28 ÷ 28 / 56 ÷ 28 = 1/2.
Therefore, 4/7 divided by 8/7 simplifies to 1/2.
