Make sense of the procedure for dividing fractions by writing an equivalent problem for 5/9÷2/5 .
To make sense of the procedure for dividing fractions, let's first rewrite the problem as a multiplication problem. To do this, we will multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
The reciprocal of 2/5 is 5/2.
So, the equivalent multiplication problem is:
5/9 x 5/2
Now, we can multiply the numerators and denominators:
(5 x 5) / (9 x 2)
= 25/18
Therefore, the equivalent problem for 5/9 ÷ 2/5 is 25/18.
