Answer:

15/22

Explanation:

3/11 divided by 2/5 is basically 3/11 multiplied by 5/2
This happens because of reciprocals

3/11*5/2 Cross multiply (For this problem nothing can cancel out)

15/22 Cannot be simplified

Sorry I tried my best to do it in numbers! It's hard to not explain without words! :)
