Determine the quotient of 2 over 3 divide by 4 over 5.
Solution:
The given numerical statement can be represented as,
⅔ / 4/5
In dividing a number with a fraction, we must take note that instead of dividing, we must instead take the reciprocal of the denominator and then multiply it to the numerator. In our case, the reciprocal of 4/5 is 5/4, hence we multiply 5/4 to ⅔.
= (⅔)/(4/5)
= (⅔)(5/4)
= 10/12
= 10/12
Final answer:
= 10/12
