Question

What is the quotient of 3/4 divided by 1/5? The quotient is 3 and ___________

Answer 1

The answer is 3 and 3/4 because you need to find the reciprocal of 1/5 which is 5/1. Then you have to multiply 3/4 by 5/1 and get 15/4. After that, you change your improper fraction to a mixed number to get the correct answer 3 and 3/4.

Answer 2

Answer:

The quotient is  3 and $\frac{3}{4}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the quotient of the division (which is just the solution, really), we have to solve the division itself:

$\frac{\frac{3}{4}}{\frac{1}{5}}$

$= \frac{3 \cdot 5}{1 \cdot 4}$

$= \frac{15}{4}$

Now that we know the quotient, we can look at the question itself to find it requires from us an answer with a whole number in it.

Therefore, we transform the fraction as thus:

$\frac{15}{4}$

$= 3 \frac{3}{4}$

Therefore, the final answer is 3 and $\frac{3}{4}$.

Hope this helped!
