Invert 6/5 which becomes 5/6 and then multiply

3/15×5/6= 15/90

Which simplified becomes 1/6

Answer 2

Diving by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. In other words, we can change the division sign to multiplication and flip the second fraction.

`(3)/(15)` ÷
`(6)/(5)` →
`(3)/(15)` ×
`(5)/(6)`

Now, we are multiplying fractions.

`(3)/(15)` ×
`(5)/(6)`

To multiply fractions, we can multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.

3 × 5 = 15

15 × 6 = 90

15 ÷ 15 = 1

90 ÷ 15 = 6

Therefore,
`(3)/(15)` ÷
`(6)/(5)` =
`(1)/(6)`
