Compute: 6/7÷3/5

. Simplify the answer if possible.(1 point)

1 answer

To compute \( \frac{6}{7} \div \frac{3}{5} \), you can multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction:

\[ \frac{6}{7} \div \frac{3}{5} = \frac{6}{7} \times \frac{5}{3} \]

Next, multiply the fractions:

\[ \frac{6 \times 5}{7 \times 3} = \frac{30}{21} \]

Now, simplify \( \frac{30}{21} \). The greatest common divisor (GCD) of 30 and 21 is 3. Thus, we divide both the numerator and denominator by 3:

\[ \frac{30 \div 3}{21 \div 3} = \frac{10}{7} \]

So, the simplified answer is:

\[ \frac{10}{7} \] or \( 1 \frac{3}{7} \) as a mixed number.
