Divide. write the quotient in lowest terms. 1/4 ÷ 1 1/8

The quotient in its lowest terms is 2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's divide 1/4 ÷ 1 1/8, this way:

1/4 ÷ 1 1/8 = 1/4 ÷ 9/8 (Converting 1 1/8 to fraction)

1/4 ÷ 9/8 = 1/4 * 8/9 = 8/36

8/36 = 4/18 (Dividing by 2 the numerator and the denominator)

4/18 = 2/9  (Dividing by 2 the numerator and the denominator)

The quotient in its lowest terms is 2/9

Proof: 1/4 = 0.25 and 1 1/8 = 1.125

0.25 ÷ 1.125 = 0.22222

0.22222 = 2/9
