To divide fractions, you need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
The reciprocal of 3/5 is 5/3.
Therefore, 6/7 ÷ 3/5 can be simplified to (6/7) * (5/3).
Multiplying the numerators together gives 6 * 5 = 30.
Multiplying the denominators together gives 7 * 3 = 21.
So, (6/7) * (5/3) = 30/21.
This fraction can be simplified further by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3.
30/21 ÷ 3 = 10/7.
Therefore, 6/7 ÷ 3/5 simplifies to 10/7.
