Solving $\frac{61}{72}\div\frac{3}{5}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{61}{72} \div \frac{3}{5} = \frac{61}{72} \times \frac{5}{3}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $61 \times 5 = 305$
• Multiply the Denominators: $72 \times 3 = 216$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{61}{72} \times \frac{3}{5} = \frac{305}{216}$
