Find the quotient of 5/ 31 divided by 15/ 23. reduce your answer to the lowest fraction. a. 93/23, or 41/23 b. 75/373 c. 115/465 d. 23/93
if you could explain how you got your answer so i understand better i would appreciate it.

(5/31) / (15/23)

When you divide fractions, you always flip the second fraction and then multiply the numerators and denominators together.

So:

(5/31) / (15/23) becomes (5/31) × (23/15)

Now you do:

5 × 23 = 115
31 × 15 = 465

So the final product of the two fractions is 115/465

We always want the most simplified version of a fraction so we can divide both the numerator and denominator by 5 to get:

115 ÷ 3 = 23
464 ÷ 3 = 93

23/93 which is answer D

the law of definite proportions states samples of a compound will always contain the same proportion of elements by mass. in other words, a given compound will always contain the same elements in the same proportions by mass.the law of multiple proportions states when two elements combine with each other to form more than one compound, then the weights of one element that combine with a fixed weight of the other are in a ratio of small whole numbers.
