Answer:

A. 4/9

Explanation:

4 / 15 ÷ 3 / 5 = ?

First, we need to find common denominators.

Both fractions need denominators of 15.

(Multiply 3/5 by 3)

4 / 15 ÷ 9 / 15

Second, find the reciprocal of 9/15, or the opposite.

9 / 15 ~ 15 / 9.

Change the division sign to a multiplication sign.

Third, multiply the fractions:

4 / 15 · 15 / 9 = 60 / 135

Lastly, simplify by dividing the product by 15:

4/9.

A. 4/9 is your simplified answer

Answer:

A. 4 / 9

Explanation:

4/15 ÷ 3/5

= ( 4 / 15 ) x ( 5 / 3 )

15 = 5 x 3

= ( 4 / 3 x 5 ) x ( 5 / 3 )

= ( 4 x 5 ) / ( 3 x 3 x 5 )

= 4 / 3 x 3

= 4 / 9
