112÷88

$$\frac{112}{88} \\\\
\approx \frac{110}{88}\\\\
=\frac{11\times 10}{88}\\\\
=\frac{1\times 10}{8}\\\\
=\frac{1\times 5}{4}\\\\
=1\frac{1}{4}\\\\$$

Is that any help?

Hi Bumblebee,      

I am not sure what you mean.  These are all EQUIVALENT expressions.

112÷88

$${\frac{{\mathtt{112}}}{{\mathtt{88}}}} = {\frac{{\mathtt{14}}}{{\mathtt{11}}}} = {\mathtt{1.272\: \!727\: \!272\: \!727\: \!272\: \!7}}$$

that is       $$1.\overline{27}$$       or in Australia it is written as      $$1.\dot2\dot7$$

also

$$\frac{112}{88}=\frac{56}{44}=\frac{28}{22}=\frac{14}{11}=1\frac{3}{11}$$

No. She wants to change 112 into a compatible number, and she wants to change 88 into a compatible number.

What do you mean by compatible number?

Can you give me an example?

Have a look at: http://www.basic-mathematics.com/what-are-compatible-numbers.html 

A daft concept!

Ok

example the compatible number for 51 is 50

Kind of. What are the compatible numbers for 88 and 112? There are no fractions and no remainders.
