25

Answer 1

25

Explanation:

Divide: 5 : 1/5 = 5/1 · 5/1 = 5 · 5/1 · 1 = 25/1 = 25 Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal value of the second fraction. The first sub-step is to find the reciprocal (reverse the numerator and denominator, reciprocal of 1/5 is 5/1) of the second fraction. Next, multiply the two numerators. Then, multiply the two denominators.In other words - five divided by one fifth is twenty-five.
