Simplify the division problem 74÷134\frac{7}{4} \div 1 \frac{3}{4} and select the correct answer.

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are given a fraction divided by a mixed number. . We need to simplify the expression.

STEP 2

First, we need to convert the mixed number into an improper fraction. The formula to convert a mixed number to an improper fraction isImproper Fraction=Whole Number×Denominator+umerator\text{Improper Fraction} = \text{Whole Number} \times \text{Denominator} + \text{umerator}

STEP 3

Now, plug in the values for the whole number, denominator, and numerator from the mixed number 131 \frac{3}{} to calculate the improper fraction.
Improper Fraction=1×+3\text{Improper Fraction} =1 \times +3

STEP 4

Calculate the improper fraction.
Improper Fraction=1×4+3=7\text{Improper Fraction} =1 \times4 +3 =7So, 1341 \frac{3}{4} is equivalent to 74\frac{7}{4}.

STEP 5

Now, we can rewrite the original expression using the improper fraction instead of the mixed number.
74÷74\frac{7}{4} \div \frac{7}{4}

STEP 6

The division of two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. The reciprocal of a fraction is obtained by swapping the numerator and the denominator.
So, we rewrite the expression as4×4\frac{}{4} \times \frac{4}{}

STEP 7

Now, we can multiply the fractions. When multiplying fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.
7×44×7\frac{7 \times4}{4 \times7}

STEP 8

Calculate the multiplication.
7×44×7=2828\frac{7 \times4}{4 \times7} = \frac{28}{28}

STEP 9

implify the fraction.
2828=\frac{28}{28} =So, the simplified form of 74÷34\frac{7}{4} \div \frac{3}{4} is $$.
