Answer:

The quotient in simplest form 3/4÷5/16 is
2(2)/(5)

Solution:

We have to find the quotient in the simplest form for the division of two fractions.

Given expression is
(3)/(4) / (5)/(16)

If we invert one of the fractions the division sign between them will become multiplication, which makes the calculation easier.

This can be written as


=(3)/(4) * (16)/(5)

On simplifying the equation we get


=(3 * 4)/(5)=(12)/(5)

Since the answer is in an improper fraction, we need to change it into the mixed fraction form.

Which will become:
=2 (2)/(5)

Therefore, the option c is the correct answer.
