What is 85/18 Divided By 3/1

Solving $\frac{85}{18}\div\frac{3}{1}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{85}{18} \div \frac{3}{1} = \frac{85}{18} \times \frac{1}{3}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $85 \times 1 = 85$
• Multiply the Denominators: $18 \times 3 = 54$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{85}{18} \times \frac{3}{1} = \frac{85}{54}$

Simplify - Since $\frac{85}{54}$​ is already in its simplest form (there are no common factors between $85$ and $54$ other than $1$), this is the final answer.

Answer $\frac{85}{18}\div\frac{3}{1} = \frac{85}{54}$
