Answer:
3 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
When we divide two fractions, such as 4/3 ÷ 2/5, we flip the second fraction and then we simply multiply the numerators with each other and the denominator with each other.
We also simplify the answers to fraction problems whenever possible.
So first we will change 2/5 into its reciprocal, in simple words what fraction is it when its flipped over, 5/2 right? So now we change the division into multiplication, you may or may not have heard this phrase:
Keep, Change, Flip
so now our equation looks like this:
4/3 (5/2)
In a multiplication problem it dosent matter if the denominators are the same so we just straight up multiply, which gives us 20/6. We can still simplify this by 2, so 20 divided by 2 is 10, and 6 divided by 2 is 3, so our new fraction is 10/3, now we can simplify it again to make it proper, so its 10 divided by 3, the numerator goes inside and the denominator goes outside, this gives us 3r1, the denominator (the outside number) will becomes the mixed number, the remainder will become the numerator, and the answer will become the denominator, which gives us our final answer of:
3 1/3
