The quotient of 5/31 divided by 15/23, reduced to the lowest fractions, is ?

Question

A. 75/373
B. 23/93
C. 93/23 or 4 1/23
D. 115/465

Answer 1

B. 23/93

Here's how I got the answer:

Divide 5/31 by 15/23 to get the quotient:
a) Flip the divisor (15/23) so it is 23/15
b) Mutiply the flipped divisor (23/15) by the dividend
c) 23/15 X 5/31 = 23/93
d) The quotient, 23/93, is reduced to lowest terms, so 23/93 is the final answer.

Hope I helped!

Answer 2

I don't know what level of math this is, but there's a trick I learned in Algebra that will help when dividing a fraction by another fraction.

Your problem is to divide 5/31 by 15/23 What you do is flip the last one, and multiply instead, like this: 5/31 x 23/15

Basically, you multiply 5 by 23 and the result is on top, and you multiply 31by 15, and the answer is on the bottom. You end up with 115/465 However, there's still a common factor in the top and bottom of the fraction--a 5. You divide both the top and bottom by that 5, and you get 23/91.

So the answer is B.

Answer 3

considering the fact that 5/31 / 15/23 = 5/31*23/15 , then you definately can cut back the 5 to one, and the fifteen to 3 to get a million/31*23/15. considering the fact that each and all the ensuing numbers are then best, the manufactured from those 2 fractions would be at its lowest type.

Answer 4

When you divide fractions, flip the one in the denominator and multiply.

5/31 / 15/23 = 5/31 * 23/15 = 1/31 * 23/3 = 23/93 which is B

Answer 5

B, since 23 is a prime number, and cannot be further reduced.

5/31 divided by 15/23 is the same as

5/31 x 23/15, or (5*23) / (31*15)

dividing the top and bottom by 5,
you get: (1*23)/(3*31), or 23/93.

Answer 6

5/31 / 15/23=


5/31 * 23/15=
5 becomes 1 amd the 15 becomes 3

23/93
