Step-by-step explanation:

$5\div2\dfrac{5}{7}\qquad\text{convert the mixed number to improper fraction}\\\\2\dfrac{5}{7}=\dfrac{2\cdot7+5}{7}=\dfrac{19}{7}\\\\=5\div\dfrac{19}{7}=5\cdot\dfrac{7}{19}=\dfrac{(5)(7)}{19}=\dfrac{35}{19}=1\dfrac{16}{19}$

Answer 2

5 ÷ 2 * 7 + 5/7

Simplify 2 * 7 to 14

5 ÷ 14 + 5/7
