Question

Divide 3 8 ÷ 2 3 and express the answer in simplest terms.

Answer 1

Answer:

1$\frac{15}{23}$

Step-by-step explanation:

38 ÷ 23 = $\frac{38}{23}$

Since 38 is bigger than 23, you can pull a $\frac{23}{23}$ from $\frac{38}{23}$.

$\frac{38}{23}$ = $\frac{23}{23}$ + $\frac{15}{23}$

$\frac{23}{23}$ is basically one whole, so you can put the answer as a mixed number.

$\frac{23}{23}$ + $\frac{15}{23}$ = 1 + $\frac{15}{23}$

          = 1$\frac{15}{23}$
