1. Problem Description

The problem is to calculate 87÷235\frac{8}{7} \div \frac{2}{35} and express the answer in its simplest form.

2. Solution Steps

To divide fractions, we multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction. The reciprocal of 235\frac{2}{35} is 352\frac{35}{2}. So we have
87÷235=87×352 \frac{8}{7} \div \frac{2}{35} = \frac{8}{7} \times \frac{35}{2}
Multiplying the numerators and denominators:
87×352=8×357×2 \frac{8}{7} \times \frac{35}{2} = \frac{8 \times 35}{7 \times 2}
=28014 = \frac{280}{14}
Now we simplify the fraction.
First, we can divide both numerator and denominator by 2:
28014=1407 \frac{280}{14} = \frac{140}{7}
Then, we can divide both numerator and denominator by 7:
1407=201 \frac{140}{7} = \frac{20}{1}
=20 = 20

3. Final Answer

20
