What is the result of the expression: 22/9 divided by 11/3 - 1/4 divided by 1/8?

-3/4

-4/3

To find the result of the expression 22/9 divided by 11/3 - 1/4 divided by 1/8, we start by simplifying each division step separately.

First, consider the term 22/9 divided by 11/3. Dividing by a fraction is equivalent to multiplying by its reciprocal, so we can rewrite this as:

22/9 * 3/11.

When we simplify this, we multiply the numerators (22 * 3) and the denominators (9 * 11), resulting in:

66/99.

This simplifies further since both numerator and denominator can be divided by 33, yielding:

2/3.

Next, we look at the second division, 1/4 divided by 1/8. Again, we will multiply by the reciprocal:

1/4 * 8/1.

Upon simplification, this equals:

8/4, which reduces to:

Now, we combine the results from the two calculations:

2/3 - 2.

To perform the subtraction, we convert 2 into a fraction with a common denominator:

2 can be rewritten as 6/3 (since 6 divided by 3 equals 2). We

1/2
