Answer:


(4)/(15)

Explanation:

Given the following question:


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

To find the answer we will use KCF (Keep, Change, Flip) apply it to the following question and then complete by multiplying and reducing. If needed of course.


(1)/(5) /(3)/(4)
Apply KCF:

(1)/(5) /(3)/(4)=(1)/(5) *(4)/(3)

(1)/(5) *(4)/(3)
Solve:

1*4=4

5*3=15

=(4)/(15)
Answer is in simplest terms.

Which means your answer is the first option or "4/15."

Hope this helps.
