To solve complex fraction division problems like 5/3 ÷ 5×3, use the KCF rule (Keep, Change, Flip): keep the first fraction (5/3), change division to multiplication, and flip the second fraction (15/1 becomes 1/15), then simplify by canceling common factors to get the final answer of 1/9.

Added:Hello everyone.
In this problem you have this fraction 5 / 3 everything / 5 * 3.
The best way to solve this problem is to write everything in one single line. So, I put numerator and denominator separately in a parenthesis different parenthesis.
5 / 3 as a numerator / because the division line is division sign.
5 * 3 is the numerator and denominator.
And now I can write and calculate everything separately really easily because we have two parenthesis, we can do calculate the parenthesis separately. 5 / 3 I can just write as a fraction.
5 over 3 and / the result of these two these parenthesis which is 5 * 3 is 15.
But you should know when you have two fractions 5 over 3 uh 3 and 15 over 1 is the another fraction.
Divide on each other. In this case, you can respect the rule for KCF.
KCF tells us K stands for keep on change the first fraction. First fraction is 5 over 3. So, 5 over 3.
C stands for changing the division sign to multiplication.
So, I change it.
And F stands for flipping the second fraction.
15 over 1 gives us 1 over 15. We flipped it.
And now you can see five can be cancelled and can be simplified with this 15.
Five is 1 over 5 and 15 over 5 is 3.
So, numerator is 1 * 1 and denominator is 3 * 3 gives us 9.
1 over 9 is the last answer of this calculation.
