Divide and answer in simplest form: 1/3 divided by 5

disa [49]

Answer:

1/15

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You can divide 1/3 by 5 by changing the division symbol to its reciprocal, multiplication, and also divide by the reciprocal of the number after the symbol, 5. The reciprocal of 5 is 1/5.

2. Now you can do 1/3 multiplied by 1/5. Multiply the numerators by the denominators. The numerators are 1 and 1, so you multiply 1 by 1 which equals 1. Now you multiply the denominators, 3 and 5, which is equal to 15. If the numerator is now 1, and the denominator is 15, the new fraction is 1/15, getting you to your answer
