Find the value of the expression y ÷ 1 1 4 for y = 8 1 2 . Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction or as a whole or mixed number.
+272 first of all why did you use a variable only to define it?
sounds like math homework because thats the only place it exists.
anyway yeah
812/114
theyre both divisible by two
812/2 = 406
114/2 = 57
812/114=406/57
57 is only divisible by 3 and 57 and 406 isnt a multiple of 57 so
$${\mathtt{57}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{7}} = {\mathtt{399}}$$ is the highest multiple of 57 that doesnt go over 406 so
7 + (406-399)/57
7 + 7/57 is the final answer.
however, theres probably a better way to do this that isnt lame like my way
