Which statement is true?

A.3/4 divided by 1/3=3/4x1/3=1/4
B.1/5 divided by 2/3=2/3x1/5=2/15
C.5/8 divided by 1/4=5/8x4/1=5/2
D.3/5 divided by 4=3/5x4/1=12/5

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

When you divide with fraction, you multiply by the reciprocal

`((3)/(5) )/((1)/(4) )` x
`((4)/(1) )/((4)/(1) )` If I multiply the numerator and the denominator by
`(4)/(1)` , the numerator is cancelled out and I am left with

`(3)/(5)` x
`(4)/(1)` =
`(12)/(5)`
