Simplify: (7/8 ÷ 7/16) × (3/5)
Simplify: (7/8 ÷ 7/16) × (3/5)
medium Q15 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Divide by multiplying with reciprocal
First divide: (7/8 ÷ 7/16) = (7/8 × 16/7).Step 2: Cancel identical factors
Cancel the 7s → becomes 16/8 = 2.Step 3: Multiply by the third fraction
Now multiply by 3/5 → 2 × 3/5 = 6/5.Final Answer:
6/5 → Option D.Quick Check:
(7/8 ÷ 7/16) = 2, and 2 × 0.6 = 1.2 = 6/5 ✅
Quick Trick: Cancel identical factors (7) early to simplify the division.
Common Mistakes:
- Multiplying incorrectly before cancelling or forgetting to flip the divisor.
