Answer by DrBeeee(684)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Ask yourself, "What part of 100 is 25?"
You get 25/100 or one fourth, right?
We get 1/4 by dividing 25 by 100.
So in your question, "What part of 3/4 is 1/10?", we get the answer by dividing 1/10 by 3/4, or the second number by the first number or
(1) (1/10)/(3/4) or
(2) (1/10)*(4/3) where we "flip" and multiply and get
(3) (1*4)/(10*3) by multiplying the numerators and the denominators or
(4) 4/30 or
(5) 2/15
Answer: 2/15 or two fifteenths.
