Given the numerical expresison:
4/10 / 3/5
Solution:
In dividing a two fractions, it must be taken to note that instead of dividing, we take the reciprocal of the fraction that is in the denominator or the divisor, and multiply the reciprocal by the numerator or the dividend.
The denominator is 3/5, hence its reciprocal or inverse is 5/3.
= 4/10 / 3/5
=( 4/10 )( 5/3 )
= 20 /30
= 0.66666 (repeating)
Final answer:
= 0.66666 (repeating)
