Question

2 1/2 divided by 3/5

Answer 1

I'd probably help if you turned them into decimals, so 2 1/2 / 3/5 would be 2.50 / 0.60, this would give you 4.166. If you were to turn this into a fraction what would you get?

\[\frac{ 5 }{ 2 }*\frac{ 5 }{ 3 }\]

Answer 16

The reason it is 5/3 and not 3/5 is because when you are dividing fractions, you take something called the "reciprocal" which basically means you flip the fraction and then it is multiplication rather than division.

Answer 17

So multiply 5*5 and 2*3

After you get that, if you can simplify go ahead and do that.
