What's 11/12 divided by 3/4 in repeated subtraction?

huh?

how many times are we to subtract ?

on the other hand ...

11/12 ÷ 3/4
= (11/12)(4/3)
= 44/36
= 11/9

I've asked a couple of my relatives who are elementary teachers if this is part of the new standards for math. I haven't received answers yet.

To divide fractions using repeated subtraction, you need to invert the second fraction (divisor) and multiply it by the first fraction (dividend). In this case, the problem is:

(11/12) ÷ (3/4)

Step 1: Invert the second fraction (divisor):
(11/12) × (4/3)

Step 2: Multiply the fractions:
(11/12) × (4/3) = (11 × 4) / (12 × 3) = 44/36

Step 3: Simplify the fraction (if possible):
The fraction 44/36 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4:
(44 ÷ 4) / (36 ÷ 4) = 11/9

Therefore, when dividing (11/12) by (3/4) using repeated subtraction, the result is 11/9.
