1. Problem Description

The problem consists of two parts:
(7) Calculate 8/3÷4/58/3 \div 4/5.
(9) Calculate 12÷8/1112 \div 8/11.

2. Solution Steps

(7) To divide by a fraction, we multiply by its reciprocal.
a/b÷c/d=a/b×d/ca/b \div c/d = a/b \times d/c
So, 8/3÷4/5=8/3×5/48/3 \div 4/5 = 8/3 \times 5/4.
8/3×5/4=(8×5)/(3×4)=40/128/3 \times 5/4 = (8 \times 5) / (3 \times 4) = 40/12.
We can simplify 40/1240/12 by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is

4. $40/12 = (40 \div 4) / (12 \div 4) = 10/3$.

(9) Similarly, to divide by a fraction, we multiply by its reciprocal.
a÷c/d=a×d/ca \div c/d = a \times d/c
So, 12÷8/11=12×11/812 \div 8/11 = 12 \times 11/8.
12×11/8=(12×11)/8=132/812 \times 11/8 = (12 \times 11) / 8 = 132/8.
We can simplify 132/8132/8 by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is

4. $132/8 = (132 \div 4) / (8 \div 4) = 33/2$.

3. Final Answer

(7) 10/310/3
(9) 33/233/2
