Question

Describe how to use area models to find the quotient 2/3 divided by 1/5.

Answer 1

Answer:

Therefore, we get 10/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the assignment we have the following numbers 2/3 and 1/5.

We ask for their quotient, we will do it as follows:

\frac{2/3}{1/5}=\frac{2·5}{3·1}=\frac{10}{3}=10/3

We did this as follows:

In the large fraction we have the numbers 2 and 5 which from the outside, we multiplied and wrote in the counter.

While numbers 1 and 3 were multiplied and written in the denominator.

Therefore, we get 10/3.
