Question

What is 1/5 divided by 1/3?

Answer 1

`1/5 div 1/3 = 3/5`

Explanation:

`color(red)(a)divcolor(blue)(b) = color(red)(a)xxcolor(blue)(1/b)`

Note that `1/(1/3) = 3` (used later)

`color(red)(1/5)divcolor(blue)(1/3)`

`color(white)("XXX")=color(red)(1/5)xxcolor(blue)(1/(1/3))`

`color(white)("XXX")=color(red)(1/5)xxcolor(blue)(3)`

`color(white)("XXX")=3/5`
