Question

What is three tenths divided by four fifths?

Answer 1

Lets turn it into a decimal so
0.3 and 0.8

0.3/0.8 would lead you to 0.375

your answer is 0.375 or 375/1000

Answer 2

Dividing fractions is the same as multiplying the inverse of the fraction (aka flipping fraction) you're dividing by. That means
`(3)/(10) / (4)/(5)` is the same as
`(3)/(10) * (5)/(4)`.

Knowing this, now you can multiply and simplify:

`(3)/(10) * (5)/(4) \\ = (15)/(40) \\ = (3)/(8)`

Your answer is
`(3)/(8)`.
