thanks so much :)
(1/5) / (3/10)
(1/5) * (10/3) = 10/15 = 2/3
To simplify the expression (1/5) ÷ (3/10), we need to remember the rule for dividing fractions: we can simply multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
The reciprocal of a fraction is obtained by switching the numerator and the denominator. In this case, the reciprocal of 3/10 is 10/3.
So, we have (1/5) ÷ (3/10) = (1/5) * (10/3).
Now we can multiply the numerators together (1 * 10 = 10) and the denominators together (5 * 3 = 15):
(1/5) * (10/3) = 10/15.
To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which in this case is 5.
So, 10/15 simplifies to 2/3.
Therefore, 1/5 divided by 3/10 simplified is 2/3.
