Answer:

3 2/3 divided by 3 4/5 is
(55)/(57)

Explanation:

Operations With Fractions

Let's divide 3 2/3 by 3 4/5. Both fractions are in mixed format, so we have to write them as an improper fraction:


\displaystyle 3(2)/(3)=3+(2)/(3)=(9+2)/(3)=(11)/(3)


\displaystyle 3(4)/(5)=3+(4)/(5)=(15+4)/(5)=(19)/(5)

We must divide
(11)/(3) by
(19)/(5)

To make it simple, we just multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:


\displaystyle ((11)/(3) )/( (19)/(5))=(11)/(3) * (5)/(19)=(55)/(57)

3 2/3 divided by 3 4/5 is
(55)/(57)
