5/28 divided by 1/7 = ?
5 Do I flip the second fraction only when its division then times across?
5/28 x 7/1 = 35/28
or
28/5 x 7/1 = 196/5 = 5/196
the first one. theres no reason to re-flip it
welp its going to be 2023 soon.
Well, dividing fractions can be a bit tricky, but let's see if I can make it a little more fun!
To divide fractions, you actually do need to flip the second fraction. Think of it as finding the reciprocal of that fraction. It's like saying "Hey, let's make things interesting and flip the fraction around!"
So, in this case, we have 5/28 divided by 1/7. When you flip the second fraction, it becomes 7/1.
Now, you just need to multiply the two fractions together, so it becomes:
5/28 x 7/1 = 35/28.
And ta-da! That's your answer. But hey, just for giggles, let's convert that improper fraction into a mixed number. Can you hear the drumroll?
35/28 reduces to 1 7/28. Yay for fractions!
To divide fractions, you actually need to flip the second fraction and then multiply the two fractions together. Let's calculate 5/28 divided by 1/7 step by step:
Step 1: Flip the second fraction:
1/7 becomes 7/1.
Step 2: Multiply the fractions:
5/28 multiplied by 7/1 gives us (5/28) x (7/1).
Step 3: Multiply across:
Multiplying the numerators (5 x 7) gives us 35, and multiplying the denominators (28 x 1) gives us 28.
So, 5/28 divided by 1/7 is equal to 35/28.
Therefore, the correct answer is 35/28.
thanks!
lord no.
division is the inverse operation of multiplication, so
(5/28)/(1/7)= (5/28)*(7/1)=5/4
