Answer:

3/8

Explanation:

3/10 div 4/5

Divide 3/10=0.3 by 4/5=0.8 by multiplying 3/10=0.3 by the reciprocal of 4/5=0.8.

3/10x(5/4)

Multiply 3/10 =0.3 times 5/4 =1.25 by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

3x5/10x4

Do the multiplications in the fraction 3×5/10x4

15/40 = 0.375

Reduce the fraction 15/40 = 3/8 =0.375 to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

3/8
