Answer: 1/5

Step-by-step explanation: To divide a fraction by a whole number, it may help to think of 3 as 3/1.

Since dividing by a fraction is the same thing as multiplying

by the reciprocal of the fraction, we can rewrite 3/5 ÷ 3 as 3/5 · 1/3.

Multiplying across the numerators and denominators gives us 3/15

which can be written in lowest terms as 1/5.
