Question

Which expression is the first step you take when finding the quotient of five over seven and three over two?

five over seven times three over two

five over seven times two over three

seven over five times three over two

seven over five times two over three

Answer 1

I think it's the second one -> 5/7 * 2/3

When you divide a fraction by another fraction, it's the same thing as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

e.g. 5/7 divided by 3/2
1. 5/7 *2/3 -> ( 5/7 is the first fraction)
-> (2/3 is the reciprocal of 3/2. The reciprocal is basically
just the switch of the numerator and denominator)
2. 10/21 -> (That's your answer C: )

Hope I didn't confuse you, and that this actually helped :)
