Hello!
So your question is asking what 5/8 / 5 3/4 is.
The first step in this equation is to simplify 5 3/4 so that it is no longer a mixed fraction.
5 3/4 = 23/4
Now, you have 5/8 / 23/4
Your next step is to use cross multiplication. In this case, you would take the numerator of 5/8 (5) and multiply it by the denominator of 23/4 (4).
Now, you multiply.
5 x 4 = 20.
This means that the numerator of your answer is 20. {20/x}
Then, you need to reverse the progress. This means you multiply the denominator of 5/8 (8) by the numerator of 23/4 (23).
Multiply.
8 x 23 = 184.
Your new fraction is 20/184.
We can simplify this by finding the common dividend.
The common dividend is 4.
20/4 is 5.
184/4 is 46.
This means your answer is 5/46.
Hope this helped!
