Question

What is 5/2 divided by 2/5

Answer 1

Answer: 6 and 1/4

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this problem, we first leave 5/2 alone so don't do anything to it.

For our second fraction, we want to switch the numerator and the

denominator which means find the reciprocal of it.

The reciprocal of 2/5 is just the opposite of it when

you flip it and it's going to be 5/2.

Because we did the opposite there, we need to do the opposite

of division and the opposite of division is multiplication.

So now we have 5/2 × 5/2 which is 25/4 or 6 and 1/4.
