I know the answer but I just couldn't explain how I got the answer
-
= 24/5 * 15/28
= (24 * 15)/(5 * 28)
= 360/140
= 18/7
= (24 * 15)/(5 * 28)
= 360/140
= 18/7

Of course.
Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal.
(24/5) / (28/15) = (24/5) * (15/28)
Multiply that out and reduce, and you get 18/7

do the reciprocal of 28/15 and multiply:
24/5 * 15/28
then, use some algebra wizardry (cross multiply):
6 * 3/7 = 18/7
24/5 * 15/28
