Find two mixed numbers or fractions that have a quotient of 3 1/5.



Please answer fast thank you so much

Respuesta :

Five and one-fourth divided by one and one-half is equal to three and one-fifth.

Answer:

The two fractions could be [tex]\frac{32}{10}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{48}{15}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

The fractions given and required are called equivalent fractions.

Given [tex]3\frac{1}{5}[/tex] , and we can express it as  [tex]\frac{16}{5}[/tex] when converted to an improper fraction.

i.e                [tex]3\frac{1}{5}[/tex] =   [tex]\frac{16}{5}[/tex]

The two mixed numbers that would have a quotient of [tex]3\frac{1}{5}[/tex] can be determined by multiplying both the denominator and numerator by the same number.

If we multiply the numerator and denominator of  [tex]\frac{16}{5}[/tex] by 2, we have [tex]\frac{32}{10}[/tex] which has the same quotient as the initial fraction.

Also, multiplying  the numerator and denominator of  [tex]\frac{16}{5}[/tex] by 3 would give [tex]\frac{48}{15}[/tex]; which has the same quotient as the given fraction.

The required fractions are:  [tex]\frac{32}{10}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{48}{15}[/tex].
