Evaluate the expression. 1 + 3/5 ÷ 1/3 Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number. ______

Handle Division: First, we need to handle the division part of the expression. We have 3/5 ÷ 1/3. To divide fractions, we multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor. Calculation: $ \frac{3}{5} \div \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{5} \times \frac{3}{1} = \frac{9}{5} $Add to 1: Next, we add the result from the first step to 1. Since 1 can be expressed as a fraction as 5/5, we add it to 9/5. Calculation: $ \frac{5}{5} + \frac{9}{5} = \frac{14}{5} $

Handle Division: First, we need to handle the division part of the expression. We have $3$ / $5$ ÷ $1$ / $3$ . To divide fractions, we multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor. $\newline$ Calculation: $\frac{3}{5} \div \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{5} \times \frac{3}{1} = \frac{9}{5}$
Add to $1$ : Next, we add the result from the first step to $1$ . Since $1$ can be expressed as a fraction as $5$ / $5$ , we add it to $9$ / $5$ . $\newline$ Calculation: $\frac{5}{5} + \frac{9}{5} = \frac{14}{5}$
