Answer 1

2.
`(1)/(4)`

Explanation:

For 2. I multiplied the denominator by the whole number and added the numerator

`3(1)/(5)`

5 x 3 = 15 + 1 = 16 and with that u get your improper fraction
`(16)/(3)`.

Then, you make 12 improper by making it
`(12)/(1)`

Then you multiply by the recirprocal (which means you flip the fraction around)

`(3)/(16) / (1)/(12)`
