Question

9/15   divided by 27/30 =

Answer 1

When dividing two fractions, we flip the second fraction and multiply by it (that is, use the reciprocal).

$\frac{9}{15}$ ÷ $\frac{27}{30}$

= $\frac{9}{15}$ × $\frac{30}{27}$

You can either multiply top by top and bottom by bottom or you can simplify by dividing out common factors.

= $\frac{1}{1}$ × $\frac{2}{3}$

= $\frac{2}{3}$
