Question

Perform indicated operation, if possible, simplify. Show all work. Write final answer in lowest terms. 21/26 divided by 27/28

Answer 1

\[(21/26) \div (27/28)\]
is the same as
\[(21/26) * (28/27)\]
You could go straight into multiplying the numerators together and the denominators together, but I find it easier to simplify first, then combine

Answer 2

\[(21/26) * 28/27)\]\[(7/26) * (28/9)\]\[(7/13)*(14/9)\] this equals...\[(7*14)/(13*9)\]\[98/117\]
