1 3/5 divied 5/8

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Is that \[\LARGE 1\frac{3}{5} \div \frac{5}{8}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(8/5) / (5/8)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

= 64 / 25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So 1 3/5 would be 8/5 8/5 times 8/5 64/25

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

= 2 14/25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 1/5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

? The answer to the question you asked is 2 14/25….

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How did you get 2 1/5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cues 25 goes into ..5 and 14 goes into 1 and you put the two on the left side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

noooo. that's not how simplifying works. you reduce if the numerator and denominator can be reduced by the same number.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 14/25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait.. what age r u? just asking because i could help you out, and even suggest you a website for math if your having trouble simplifying fractions ; )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

AND 14 goes into 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No no no. That's not how it works. 2 14/25 is a final answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah…. no more simplifying.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If there is a chance of simplifying it has to be reduced by the same number for the numerator and denominator.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

medal please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
