1/2 divided by 1/5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When dividing fractions there is one thing you have to remember...you have to " flip" what you are dividing by, and then just multiply. Example : 2/3 divided by 3/5 (flip what you are dividing by, then multiply) 2/3 x 5/3 (see how I flipped the 3/5 and made it 5/3) now just multiply...2/3 x 5/3 = 10/9 = 1 1/9 Now lets see what you can do with your problem...

remember to flip what you are dividing by and then multiply.. 1/2 divided by 1/5 = 1/2 x 5/1 = (this would be your answer)
