Answer:

9

Explanation:

This is the answer because:

1) Whenever you divide mixed numbers, remember to convert them into improper fractions: 3 3/5 = 5*3+3 = 18/5

2) Now the equation is: 18/5 ÷ 2/5

3) Make sure that whenever you divide fractions, to find the reciprocal of the second number in the equation, which in this case is 2/5. The reciprocal of 2/5 is basically the denominator/numerator: 5/2

4) Finally, you multiply 18/5 with 5/2 which gives you 90/10, 90/10 simplified is 9.

Therefore, the answer is 9.

Hope this helps! :)
