Question

find the quotient of 2/5 ÷ 8/5 Corey rewrites the problem as 5/2 × 8/5 explain Corey's mistake and how to correct it

Answer 1

Hi Schemeka31,

The reason corey is incorrect because he was trying to use copt dot flop but where was wrong was he flipped he first number. In copy dot flop you flip over the second number.

Answer 2

Well... The quotient of 2/5 ÷ 8/5 is 1.5625, but if Corey solved the equation with 5/2 ×8/5, you would get the answer of 4.
