3/8 x 5/5 = 15/40 Answer: three-eighths
15 / (3/8) = 15*8/3 = 40
15/40 or 3/8
To work this out you need to amend the fraction to one that can be halved.Three quarters is the same as six eighths, now you can work out the answer.Three eighths is half of three quarters.
2 and 3/5 plus 1 and 3/8 = 13/5 + 11/8 = 104/40 + 55/40 = 159/40 = 3 and 39/40
3/8 + 4/5 = 15/40 + 32/40 = 47/40 = 1 + 7/40
3/8 + 3/5 = 15/40 + 24/40 = 39/40 39/40 is the simplest form
