Question

What is the quotient of 3/4 divided by 1/5?
The quotient is
3 and ___________

Answer 1

the answer is 3 and 3/4 because you need to find the reciprocal of 1/5 which is 5/1. Then you have to multiply 3/4 by 5/1 and get 15/4. After that, you change your improper fraction to a mixed number to get the correct answer 3 and 3/4.

Answer 2

The quotient is 3 and
`(3)/(4)`.

Explanation:

To find the quotient of the division (which is just the solution, really), we have to solve the division itself:

`((3)/(4))/((1)/(5))`

`= (3 \cdot 5)/(1 \cdot 4)`

`= (15)/(4)`

Now that we know the quotient, we can look at the question itself to find it requires from us an answer with a whole number in it.

Therefore, we transform the fraction as thus:

`(15)/(4)`

`= 3 (3)/(4)`

Therefore, the final answer is 3 and
`(3)/(4)`.

Hope this helped!
