Question

What is the value of 3 2/5 ÷ 17/10

Answer 1

The given expression is

`3(2)/(5)\colon(17)/(10)`

First, we transform the mixed number into a fraction.

`3(2)/(5)=(3\cdot5+2)/(5)=(15+2)/(5)=(17)/(5)`

Then, we use this fraction.

`(17)/(5)\colon(17)/(10)`

Now, we flip the fraction 17/10 to transform the operation into a product.

`(17)/(5)\cdot(10)/(17)=(10)/(5)=2`

Hence, the answer is 2.
