and express the answer in simplest terms.

Answer 1

1
`(15)/(23)`

Explanation:

38 ÷ 23 =
`(38)/(23)`

Since 38 is bigger than 23, you can pull a
`(23)/(23)` from
`(38)/(23)`.

`(38)/(23)` =
`(23)/(23)` +
`(15)/(23)`

`(23)/(23)` is basically one whole, so you can put the answer as a mixed number.

`(23)/(23)` +
`(15)/(23)` = 1 +
`(15)/(23)`

= 1
`(15)/(23)`
