To work out the division problem 2/5 ÷ 7/30, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions.
To convert a mixed number into an improper fraction, you multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator. For the first mixed number, 2, the corresponding improper fraction is (2 * 5) + 1 = 11/5. For the second mixed number, 30, the corresponding improper fraction is (30 * 7) + 30 = 240/7.
Step 2: Invert the second fraction.
To divide fractions, you need to invert the second fraction and change the division sign to a multiplication sign. So, 2/5 ÷ 7/30 becomes 2/5 * 30/7.
Step 3: Multiply the fractions.
Multiply the numerators together (2 * 30 = 60), and multiply the denominators together (5 * 7 = 35). The fraction is now 60/35.
Step 4: Simplify the fraction.
To simplify the fraction, find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator. In this case, the GCD of 60 and 35 is 5. Divide both the numerator and denominator by 5 to get the simplest form of the fraction: 60/35 ÷ 5/5 = 12/7.
Step 5: Write the answer as a mixed number.
To get the answer as a mixed number, divide the numerator (12) by the denominator (7) using long division. The quotient is 1 with a remainder of 5. Therefore, the mixed number in its simplest form is 1 5/7.
