Question

5/8 divided by 15/32

Answer 1

Answer: $\frac{4}{3}$ or about 1.333

Step-by-step explanation:

    We will use the "keep, change, flip" method to solve. Keep the first number the same, change the division to multiplication, and flip the second number so we have the reciprocal.

$\displaystyle \frac{\frac{5}{8} }{\frac{15}{32} } \,\,\,\,\text{ becomes } \,\,\,\,\frac{5}{8} *\frac{32}{15} =\frac{5*32}{8*15} =\frac{160}{120} =\frac{4}{3}$
