What is 17/45 Divided By 3/2

Solving $\frac{17}{45}\div\frac{3}{2}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{17}{45} \div \frac{3}{2} = \frac{17}{45} \times \frac{2}{3}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $17 \times 2 = 34$
• Multiply the Denominators: $45 \times 3 = 135$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{17}{45} \times \frac{3}{2} = \frac{34}{135}$
