Mo 1. (5)/(10) / (3)/(2) ​

Question

Mo
1.


`(5)/(10) / (3)/(2)`
​

Answer 1

The answer is 1/3.

Explanation:

This is because when dividing you switch the sign to multiplication and flip the second fraction so that the denominator is the numerator and the numerator is the denominator. You would then just multiply as normal to get 1/3.

Answer 2

Take the reciprocal of the second term and multiply. This leaves you with 5/10•2/3.
5/10 can be simplified into 1/2, leaving you with 1/2•2/3 multiply the numerators and denominators separately, and get 2/6, which simplified to 1/3.
1/3 is the quotient.
