Answer
Estimate $ \frac{1}{4}$
Exact $\frac{1}{3}$
Work Step by Step
Estimate $1 \frac{1}{4} \div 3 \frac{3}{4}$
Round to the nearest whole number.
$1 \div 4 = \frac{1}{4}$
Compute
$1 \frac{1}{4} \div 3 \frac{3}{4}$
Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions
$\frac{5}{4} \div \frac{15}{4}$
Multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor
$\frac{5}{4} \times \frac{4}{15}$
Reduce fractions by common factors of 4 and 5.
$\frac{1}{1} \times \frac{1}{3}$ = $\frac{1}{3}$
