Question

What is 1 divided by 5/2

Answer 1

The answer is 0.4 or $\frac{2}{5}$

Answer 2

$\frac{1}{\frac{5}{2} }$

You multiply $\frac{2}{5}$ to the numerator and the denominator to get rid of the fraction in the denominator.

$\frac{1}{\frac{5}{2} }$ × $\frac{\frac{2}{5} }{\frac{2}{5} }$

= $\frac{\frac{2}{5} }{1} =\frac{2}{5}$
