3. divide 7/24 by 35/48 and reduce the quotient to the lowest fraction. a. 4/10 b. 245/1152 c. 42/48 d. 2/5

To divide fractions, you would multiply the reciprocal. What this means is that you would flip the fraction, so if you flip the fraction 35/48, that is 48/35. And because we flipped it, we now need to multiply it with the other fraction. This would be . Now we can use cross multiplication to simplify. We can see that 48/24 is 2, and 2/1 = 2. So we can replace 48 with 2, and 24 with 1. Now we can also see that 35/7 = 5, and 5/1 = 5. So we can replace 35 with 5 and 7 with 1. So our new fractions are . And therefore your answer is D. 2/5.
