Question

An expression is shown 3/5 divided by 5/8

Answer 1

Hey there!

In order to divide fractions, we should multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second one.

let me clarify:

$\bold{\displaystyle\frac{3}{5} :\frac{5}{8}}$

flop 5/8 over:

$\bold{\displaystyle\frac{3}{5} :\frac{8}{5}}$

and now multiply

$\bold{\displaystyle\frac{3}{5} *\frac{8}{5}}$

$\bold{\displaystyle\frac{24}{25}}$ (Answer)

Hope everything is clear.

Let me know if you have any questions!
