Question

What is a quotient of 3/10÷8/5 out of these forms 1. 3/16 2. 4/9 3. 15/80 4. 24/50

Answer 1

option 1

Explanation:

`(3)/(10)` ÷
`(8)/(5)`

• leave the first fraction

• change division to multiplication

• turn the second fraction 'upside down'

=
`(3)/(10)` ×
`(5)/(8)` ( cancel 5 and 10 by 5 )

=
`(3)/(2)` ×
`(1)/(8)`

=
`(3)/(16)`
