Explanation:

3
(3)/(4) ÷
(2)/(5) Original problem

When dividing fractions, you want to turn the mixed numbers into improper fractions so....


(15)/(4) ÷
(2)/(5)

Now you want to flip the second fraction ( so
(2)/(5) becomes
(5)/(2) ) and then you want to turn the division sign into a multiplication sign


(15)/(4) ×
(5)/(2)

Now you multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators


(15*5)/(2*4) =
(75)/(8)

Turn the improper fraction to a mixed number

75 divided by 8 is 9 with a remainder of 3 so your answer would be c. 9
(3)/(8)

The answer is c

I hope this helps!!!
