7/15 x 10/3 = 70/45 = 14/9 = 1 5/9
OR
7/15 x 10/3 = (7 x 2) / (3 x 3) = 14 / 9 = 1 5/9

Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by the inverse of the fraction.
To divide by a/b, simply multiply by b/a
(7/15) / (3/10)
is the same as
(7/15) * (10/3)
(7*10) / (15*3) = 70/45 = 14/9

In dividing fractions, get the reciprocal of the divisor then proceed to multiplication:
7/15 x 10/3
Apply cancellation.

7/15 divided by 3/10
Division is the inverse of multiplication, so this is the same as 7/15 X 10/3
= (7x10) / (15x3)
= 70 / 45
Simplify
14/9 or 1 5/9 or 1.555

(7/15)*(3/10)
Flip the 3/10 fraction and multiply:
(7/15)*(10/3)
Cancel out the 15 and 10:
(7/3)*(2/3)=
14/9

if i remember correctly, your supposed to multiply 7/15 to the inverse of 3/10 which would be 10/3. so the answer would be 70/45 and then in lowest terms would be 14/9.......
but i suck at math so wait for some more answers.
