Question

What is the quotient if 3/8 of 30 is divided by 15/16 of 5/10?

Answer 1

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

That would be:

(3/8)(30)

---------------

(15/16)(1/2)

This can be reduced in various ways.  First, divide that 30 by 15, obtaining:

   6/8

-----------

   1/32

Now invert the divisor (1/32) and multiply:

(6/8)(32/1)

This reduces to 6*4, or 24.
