Answer:

See step-by-step explanation.

Explanation:

When dividing a fraction it is not actually dividing, it is more multiplying.

Our sum looks like this:

3/5 ÷ 1/3

The method here is to flip the second fraction and change the divide sign into a multiplication sign. Here is what is looks like step-by-step.

3/5 ÷ 1/3

3/5 ÷ 3/1

3/5 × 3/1

Now we can finish the sum off by multiplying across.

3 × 3 = 9

5 × 1 = 5

9/5, this is a top-heavy fraction.

If we want it as a mixed fraction then here it is:

1 4/5 (that is one and four fifths).
