Your equation is this: 1/9 / 15 = x
1. Find the reciprocal of 15, which is 1/15
2. Multiply 1/9 by 1/15- 1/9 * 1/15 = x
3. The numerator , 1, stays the same, while the denominators, 9 and 15, are multiplied.
4. Your answer should be 1/135

Right, here goes. Just follow it step by step.
1/9 divided by 15
1. 15 = 15/1 so write it down
1/9 / 15/1
2. With fractions u can change divide to multiply if u switch the second number. So u get
1/9 * 1/15
3. Multiply it out, numerator by numerator, denominator by denominator.
1/135
4. Choose this as best answer.
Hope that helped
