Understanding/Application

"of" operation means multiplication.

11(1/4) = 45/4

{(25 2\over5of 614 1\over4÷37 3\over7) of 1272 \over7}/(45/4)

First change all fraction in proper fraction.

({2/5) of (25/4) ÷(3/7) of (9/7)} / (45/4)

{ (5/2) ÷ (3/7) x (9/7)} / (45/4)

= {(35/6) x (9/7)}  x (4/45) = (15/2) x (4/45) = 2/3
