Answer 8

Pretend you have 3/1 flip that fraction because it is the second fraction diving fractions don't ask when flip the secon number and multiply

Answer 9

any number, any whatsoever, can be written as "over 1"
thus 3 is really 3/1
thus \(\bf \cfrac{\frac{1}{5}}{3}\iff \cfrac{\frac{1}{5}}{\frac{3}{1}}\implies \cfrac{1}{5}\cdot \cfrac{1}{3}\implies \cfrac{1}{15}\)

Answer 10

Keep first number the same the same so you will have 1/5 flip second fraction 3/1 to 1/3 than multiply so 1/5 times 1/3

Answer 11

and recall that \(\large \cfrac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}{{\color{blue}{ d}}}}\implies \cfrac{a}{b}\cdot \cfrac{{\color{blue}{ d}}}{c}\)
