Given:

The fraction by which 935\dfrac{9}{35} must be multiplied to get 715\dfrac{7}{15} = ?

Let the required fraction be x

Now we have,

935×x=715\dfrac{9}{35} \times x = \dfrac{7}{15}

x = 715÷935\dfrac{7}{15} ÷ \dfrac{9}{35}

=715×359[Reciprocal of 935 is 359]=73×79[Simplifying 35 and 15 ⇒ Divide by 5]=7×73×9=4927=12227\begin{array}{ll} = \dfrac{7}{15} \times \dfrac{35}{9} & [\text{Reciprocal of } \dfrac{9}{35} \text{ is } \dfrac{35}{9}] \\ = \dfrac{7}{3} \times \dfrac{7}{9} & \text{[Simplifying 35 and 15 ⇒ Divide by 5]} \\ = \dfrac{7 \times 7}{3 \times 9} \\ = \dfrac{49}{27} \\ = 1\dfrac{22}{27} \end{array}

∴ The answer is 122271\dfrac{22}{27}
