(1 3/4) divided by (1/5) =
(7/4) ÷ (1/5) =
7/4 multiplied by 5/1 =
35/4 or 8 3/4 <===
To start, we will shift the non-repeating segment of the decimal to the left side by dividing by a power of 10.
Then we will assign a variable to represent the value and also shift the repeating segment to the left.
Essentially, the concept here is that we can denote the repeating portion with a variable, let's say "x", and move forward with the calculation;


you can verify that using your calculator.
