Question

Work out 3 /5 ÷ 6 /7 Give your answer as a fraction in its simplest form.

Answer 1

So to start since we are dividing the 2 fractions we can actually multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. The reciprocal is just the fraction flipped so instead of 6/7 it will be 7/6.

3/5 x 7/6

Now we can multiply the numbers from left to right as you would in any other problem.

3/5 x 7/6 = 21/30

Since 21 can only go into 30 one time this fraction is in its simplest form already.

Answer: 21/30

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

3/5 x 7/6 = 21/30 = 7/10
