Answer 3

Is this the question?

\( \dfrac{6}{5} \div \left( \dfrac{1}{5} + \dfrac{1}{15} \right) = \)

Answer 4

Are you going to show us some of your work? Go ahead and add those two in the denominator.

Answer 5

First you do the equation in the parentheses.

= 1/5 + 1/15

= ((1 × 15) + (1 × 5)) / (5 × 15)

= (15 + 5) / 75

= 20/75

= 4/15

and now divide 6/5 by 4/15

= 6/5 ÷ 4/15

= (6 × 15) / (4 × 5)

= 90/20

= 9/2

= 4 1/2
