The correct Answer is:
To simplify the expression \( 5 \frac{1}{3} \div \frac{4}{15} \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction First, we convert \( 5 \frac{1}{3} \) into an improper fraction. To do this, we multiply the whole number (5) by the denominator (3) and then add the numerator (1): \[ 5 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{(5 \times 3) + 1}{3} = \frac{15 + 1}{3} = \frac{16}{3} \] ### Step 2: Rewrite the division as multiplication Next, we rewrite the division of fractions as multiplication by the reciprocal of the second fraction. So, we have: \[ \frac{16}{3} \div \frac{4}{15} = \frac{16}{3} \times \frac{15}{4} \] ### Step 3: Multiply the fractions Now, we multiply the two fractions: \[ \frac{16 \times 15}{3 \times 4} \] Calculating the numerator and the denominator: \[ 16 \times 15 = 240 \] \[ 3 \times 4 = 12 \] So, we have: \[ \frac{240}{12} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the fraction Now we simplify \( \frac{240}{12} \): \[ \frac{240 \div 12}{12 \div 12} = \frac{20}{1} = 20 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the simplified expression is: \[ \boxed{20} \] ---
