Question

So 3/18 divided by 5/8

Answer 1

`(3)/(18)`÷
`(5)/(8)`

When dividing fractions, you flip the second fraction


`(3)/(18) * (8)/(5)`=
`(24)/(90)`

Then you simplify by finding common factors for both the numerator and denominator


`(24)/(90)` can be divided by 2 but you have to divide both the numerator and denominator


`(24)/(90)`÷
`(2)/(2)`⇒
`(12)/(45)`

3 is a factor for both the numerator and denominator so it can be used to divide them


`(12)/(45)`÷
`(3)/(3)`⇒
`(4)/(15)`


`(4)/(15) is your answer`

Answer 2

We have such problem

`(3)/(18): (5)/(8)`
If we want divide 2 fraction we can multiply first times inverse of second fraction, so

`(3)/(18) : (5)/(8)= (3)/(18) * (8)/(5)= (3*8)/(18*5)= (24)/(90)= (24:6)/(90:6)= (4)/(15)` - its the answer
