Answer:

It is A 37/55

First:

Convert any mixed numbers to fractions.

Then your initial equation becomes:

Applying the fractions formula for division,

=37×315×11

=111165

Simplifying 111/165, the answer is

Explanation:

convert mixed numbers into improper fractions (whole number × denominator + numerator)

37/15 and 11/3

when dividing fractions, use the concept copy dot flip (copy the first fraction, change division sign to multiplication, and use the reciprocal of the second fraction)

37/15 × 3/11

Numerator × numerator = new numerator

37 × 3 = 111

Denominator × denominator = new denominator

15 × 11 = 165

Result:

111/165

I realize this is not an option in your answers, but after verifying my calculations via online and a calculator I do not see how any of those answers could be correct. Of course, I'm not your teacher so I guess it must be one of those answers. Hopefully my explanation helped you in some way though ♡
