Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's convert 9 and a quarter to a simple fraction:

914=9+14=9×44+14=364+14=36+14=374 9\frac{1}{4}=9+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{9\times4}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{36}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{36+1}{4}=\frac{37}{4}

Now the exercise we got is:

374:247= \frac{37}{4}:\frac{24}{7}=

Let's convert the division exercise to a multiplication exercise, and don't forget to switch the numerator and denominator in the second fraction:

374×724= \frac{37}{4}\times\frac{7}{24}=

Let's combine it into one multiplication exercise:

37×724×4=25996 \frac{37\times7}{24\times4}=\frac{259}{96}
