Answer 1

Answer:

${ \bf{3 \frac{1}{5} \div \frac{8}{20} }} \\ = \frac{16}{5} \div \frac{8}{20} \\ { \boxed{ \tt{reciprocal \: of \: \frac{8}{20} = \frac{20}{8} }}} \\ \therefore \: = \frac{16}{5} \times \frac{20}{8} \\ = \frac{320}{40} \\ { \bf{ answer : 8}} \\ \\ {\underline{\tt {\blue{becker \: jnr}}}}$

Answer 2

3 1/5 must first converted into 16/5
Then, we can change the division into multiplication by changing 8/20 into it’s reciprocal, 20/8.
This gives us 16/5 * 20/8.
We can then simplify this to 2/1 * 4/1
You then multiply the two fractions to get 8/1 which is equivalent to 8.
