To write 14 3/4 as a common fraction:
-- to get the numerator, multiply 14 x 4 and add 3 --> 56 + 3 = 59
-- the denominator is 4
Therefore, 14 3/4 = 59 / 4
Now: to divide, multiply by the reciprocal (the reciprocal of 3 is 1 / 3)
59 / 4 ÷ 3 ---> 59 / 4 x 1 / 3
To solve, multiply the numerators together ( 59 x 1 ) to get 59
and multiply the denominators together (4 x 3 ) to get 12
So, the answer is 59 / 12
To write this answer as a mixed number: Divide 59 by 12 to get a quotient of 4 and a remainder of 11:
4 + 11 / 12
