Question

An expression is shown 3/5 divided by 5/8

Answer 1

Hey there!

In order to divide fractions, we should multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second one.

let me clarify:

`\bold{\displaystyle(3)/(5) :(5)/(8)}`

flop 5/8 over:

`\bold{\displaystyle(3)/(5) :(8)/(5)}`

and now multiply

`\bold{\displaystyle(3)/(5) *(8)/(5)}`

`\bold{\displaystyle(24)/(25)}` (Answer)

Hope everything is clear.

Let me know if you have any questions!
