Answer:
1. 6/9 ÷ 2/5 = 1 2/3
2. 3/8 ÷ 6/12 = 3/4
3. 4/10 ÷ 3/4 = 8/15
4. 1/9 ÷ 8/10 = 5/36
5. 2/12 ÷ 3/8 = 4/9
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this kind of question, you will need to rewrite the problem (2/12 ÷ 3/8), after that, the second fraction (3/8) we need to reciprocal it. How? The denominator should be in the top meanwhile the numerator will be at below for example, 3/8 became 8/3. After that, we need to multiply.
2/12 x 8/3 =
multiply 2 and 8, the answer will be 16
multiply 12 and 3, the answer will be 36
now, it will be 16/36, but hold up! We still need to simplify it since 16 and 36 are composite numbers.
How to simplify/make it in lowest term:
Look for the GCF of 16 and 36. The GCF of 16 and 36 is 4, divide 16 and 4 and divide 36 and 4
16 ÷ 4 = 4
36 ÷ 4 = 9
Now, we're done! 4 and 9 are prime numbers so it's in lowest term, so then, the answer is 4/9.
HOPE THIS HELPS!!
