Question

Which values of a, b, and c represent the answer in simplest form?

StartFraction 5 Over 8 EndFraction divided by StartFraction 3 Over 8 EndFraction = a StartFraction b Over c EndFraction

A. a = 1, b = 3, c = 2

B. a = 1, b = 40, c = 24

C. a = 1, b = 16, c = 24

D. a = 1, b = 2, c = 3

Answer 1

trust me on this answer. It is D, a = 1, b = 2, c = 3

Explanation:

Okay, so the problem is 5/8 divided by 3/8.

So, you find the reciprocal, which then is 5/8 x 8/3

Since there is an 8 is both the first denominator and the second numerator, you cross them out, which leaves you 5/3

So, 5 can go into 3, only 1 time.

5/3 = 3/3 + 2/3

So, 3/3 + 2/3 = 1 2/3

Therefore, D is the answer of choice.
