Question

1/2

1/8

1/12

1/15

Answer 1

To find the quotient of \( \frac{1}{5} \) divided by \( 3 \), we can express this mathematically as:

\[ \frac{1}{5} \div 3 = \frac{1}{5} \times \frac{1}{3} \]

Now, we multiply the numerators and the denominators:

\[ \frac{1 \times 1}{5 \times 3} = \frac{1}{15} \]

So, the quotient of \( \frac{1}{5} \) divided by \( 3 \) is \( \frac{1}{15} \).

Thus, the correct answer is:

1/15
