9/16 divided by 3/20 = 15/4 or 3.75.

Answer:

So in the end you have 180/48

Which can be simplified to 15/4 by dividing both the numberator and denominator by 12

If you need it as a mixed number, it's 3 and 3/4

Explanation:

We need to do KCF method :)

9 3

--- ÷ ---

16 20

KCF means Keep Change Flip

Keep the first fraction

Change the divide to a multiply

Flip the last fraction around

So now we have

9 20

--- × ---

16 3

Which is much easier. Just multiply the numerators and the denominators together.

9 × 20 = 180

16 × 3 = 48

So in the end you have 180/48

Which can be simplified to 15/4 by dividing both the numberator and denominator by 12

If you need it as a mixed number, it's 3 and 3/4

Hope this helps!
