Question

5/8 divided by 3/4 what the answer

Answer 1

Answer:

20/24. Simplified answer is 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

5/8 divided by 3/4 is the same as asking 5/8 times 4/3

When dividing a number by a fraction, you can always just multiply by the fraction with its numerator and denominator switched!

So, now we have 5/8 times 4/3

Step 1: Multiply the numerators together. 5 times 4 = 20

Step 2: Multiply the denominators together. 8 times 3 = 24

Step 3: Put the new numerator over the new denominator. 20 over 24 is 20/24

Step 4: Simplify the fraction if necessary. 20 and 24 share a common factor of 4, so divide both the numerator and denominator by 4.  

20 divided by 4 = 5

24 divided by 4 = 6

So, 20/24 is equal to 5/6.
