Question

How do you find the answer to 8/10 divided by 1/5

Answer 1

When fractions are divided by each other, you're really multiplying by the "multiplicative inverse". This is the fraction, but flipped.

$\frac{8}{10} \div \frac{1}{5} = \frac{8}{10} \times \frac{5}{1} \\\\So\\\frac{8}{10} \times \frac{5}{1} = \frac{40}{10} = 4$

Answer 2

1/5 x 2 to get 2/10 so now they have common denominators and 8 divides by 2 is 4 so your answer is 4
