Answer:
5 : (1/3) = 15/1 = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide: 5 : 1/3 = 5/1 · 3/1 = 5 · 3/1 · 1 = 15/1 = 15
Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal value of the second fraction. The first sub-step is to find the reciprocal (reverse the numerator and denominator, reciprocal of 1/3 is 3/1) of the second fraction. Next, multiply the two numerators. Then, multiply the two denominators.
In other words - five divided by one third is fifteen.
