1/5 divided by 3/10 ??
need asap thanks :)
To divide fractions, you need to follow these steps:
1. Keep the first fraction unchanged.
2. Change the division sign to multiplication.
3. Flip (or reciprocate) the second fraction. This means you swap the numerator and denominator (top and bottom).
4. Multiply the fractions.
Let's apply this method to your question.
1/5 divided by 3/10 can be calculated as:
1/5 × 10/3
Now, multiply the numerators (top numbers) and denominators (bottom numbers):
(1 × 10) / (5 × 3)
10/15
This fraction can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 5:
10 ÷ 5 / 15 ÷ 5
2/3
So, 1/5 divided by 3/10 is equal to 2/3.
