Answer 1

Answer:

d none of these

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original fraction be x.

16/17 of x = 16x / 17

Quotient by dividing the fraction by 16/17 = x ÷ 16/17 = 17x / 16

17x/16 exceeds the correct answer by 33/340.

17x/16 - 16x/17 = 33/340

By taking LCM

(289x - 256x) / 272 = 33/340

33x / 272 = 33 / 340

x = 272 / 340

x = 4 / 5.
