The correct Answer is:
Let's solve the given problems step by step. ### (i) Evaluate `4/5 div 3` 1. **Convert the division to multiplication**: \[ \frac{4}{5} \div 3 = \frac{4}{5} \div \frac{3}{1} \] Here, we write 3 as a fraction \(\frac{3}{1}\). 2. **Change the division to multiplication**: \[ \frac{4}{5} \times \frac{1}{3} \] We change the divisor (3) to its reciprocal (1/3). 3. **Multiply the fractions**: \[ \frac{4 \times 1}{5 \times 3} = \frac{4}{15} \] **Final Answer for (i)**: \(\frac{4}{15}\) --- ### (ii) Evaluate `7/8 div 5/6` 1. **Convert the division to multiplication**: \[ \frac{7}{8} \div \frac{5}{6} \] 2. **Change the division to multiplication**: \[ \frac{7}{8} \times \frac{6}{5} \] Here, we take the reciprocal of \(\frac{5}{6}\). 3. **Multiply the fractions**: \[ \frac{7 \times 6}{8 \times 5} = \frac{42}{40} \] 4. **Simplify the fraction**: \[ \frac{42 \div 2}{40 \div 2} = \frac{21}{20} \] **Final Answer for (ii)**: \(\frac{21}{20}\) --- ### (iii) Evaluate `5 1/3 div 4/15` 1. **Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction**: \[ 5 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{5 \times 3 + 1}{3} = \frac{15 + 1}{3} = \frac{16}{3} \] 2. **Convert the division to multiplication**: \[ \frac{16}{3} \div \frac{4}{15} \] 3. **Change the division to multiplication**: \[ \frac{16}{3} \times \frac{15}{4} \] We take the reciprocal of \(\frac{4}{15}\). 4. **Multiply the fractions**: \[ \frac{16 \times 15}{3 \times 4} \] 5. **Simplify before multiplying**: - \(16 \div 4 = 4\) - \(15 \div 3 = 5\) So, we have: \[ \frac{4 \times 5}{1 \times 1} = \frac{20}{1} = 20 \] **Final Answer for (iii)**: \(20\) --- ### Summary of Answers: - (i) \(\frac{4}{15}\) - (ii) \(\frac{21}{20}\) - (iii) \(20\) ---
