Rewrite the expression so that all of the numbers are fractions.

8530 or 2 56

Practice makes perfect
Before we evaluate the expression, let's first rewrite the expression so that all of the numbers are fractions.
3 25 Ă· 1 15
3 * 5+2/5 Ă· 1 * 5+1/5
15+2/5 Ă· 1* 5+1/5
15+2/5 Ă· 5+1/5
17/5 Ă· 6/5
Recall that dividing fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. 17/5 Ă· 6/5 = 17/5 * 5/6 When multiplying fractions, remember that the product of two fractions is equal to the product of the numerators over the product of the denominators.
17/5 * 5/6
17 * 5/5 * 6
85/30
The quotient is 8530. We can also write this fraction as a mixed number.
85/30
60+25/30
60/30+25/30
2+25/30
2+5/6
2 56
