Question

Which values of a, b, and c represent the answer in simplest form? StartFraction 5 Over 8 EndFraction divided by StartFraction 3 Over 8 EndFraction = a StartFraction b Over c EndFraction

Answer 1

the person above me is right (:

Answer 2

a = 1,

b = 2 and

c = 3

Explanation:

Given the expression

5/8 ÷ 3/8 = a b/c

From the expression, we are to express 5/8 ÷ 3/8 as a mixed fraction of the form a b/c

Simplify 5/8 ÷ 3/8;

5/8 ÷ 3/8 = 5/8×8/3

5/8 ÷ 3/8 = 5/3

Next is to express 5/3 as a mixed fraction as shown;

5/3 = 1 2/3

Compare 1 2/3 with a b/c, we can see on comparison that a = 1, b = 2 and c = 3
