Dividing a 2-digit number by 1 1/7

STEPS

1. Select a 2-digit number.
2. Multiply it by 7.
3. Divide the product by 8.

Example:

1. The number chosen to divide by 1 1/7 is 26.
2. Multiply by 7: 7 × 26 = 140 + 42 = 182
3. Divide by 8: 182/8 = 22 3/4
4. So 26 divided by 1 1/7 = 22 3/4.

See the pattern?

1. The number chosen to divide by 1 1/7 is 61.
2. Multiply by 7: 7 × 61 = 427
3. Divide by 8: 427/8 = 53 3/8
4. So 61 divided by 1 1/7 = 53 3/8
