Question

What is the quotient of 3/5 ÷ 2 1/4

Answer 1

4/15

Step-by-step explanation
3/5 divided by 2 1/4
= 3/5 divided by 9/4
= 3/5 x 4/9
= 3/5 x 4/9
= 3 x 4
____
5 x 9
= 12/45
= 12 divided by 3
____________
45 divided by 3
= 4/15

Answer 2

To start turn the mixed number into a fraction

2 x 4 = 8

So 3/5 / 9/4

now if you turn the second fraction into its inverse it will turn it into multiplication

The inverse of 9/4 is 4/9

3/5 x 4/9 would be 12/45

Now simplify

4/15
