Answer 2

D. Miko found an incorrect quotient and checked her work using multiplication incorrectly

Explanation:

We are given the equation

`(5)/((5)/(3) )`

This can be rewritten as

`5*(3)/(5) =3`

Miko's work is incorrect as she did not multiply by the reciprocal of denominator's fraction. Instead she just multiplied by that fractions.
