Question

Divided 3/4 divided by 1/5

Answer 1

`(15)/(4)`

Can also be written as the following,

`3(3)/(4)`

Explanation:

First, set up the given problem,

`(3)/(4)` ÷
`(1)/(5)`

In order to divide two fractions, one must take the reciprocal of the second fraction and then change the multiplication sign to a division sign. Apply this technique to the given problem,

`(3)/(4)` ÷
`(1)/(5)`

`(3)/(4) * (5)/(1)`

Multiply,

`(15)/(4)`

Convert to a mixed number. To convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, one must divide the numerator (number on top of a fraction) by the denominator (number under the fraction bar), write the whole value to the left of the fraction, and the remainder of the division in place of the numerator.

`3(3)/(4)`
