if you divide 3/4 from 2/5, you get 8/15

Answer:

If Jasmine picked 4/10 (which is equivalent to 2/5) then that would mean Jasmine's friend picked 3/10.

If Jasmine picked 4 berries out of 10, that means Jasmines friend picked 3 berries out of ten.

Explanation:

2/5 x 4 = 8/20

8/20 x 5 = 40/100

three quarters of 40/100 is 30/100
