Question

How do you find the answer to 8/10 divided by 1/5

Answer 1

1/5 x 2 to get 2/10 so now they have common denominators and 8 divides by 2 is 4 so your answer is 4

Answer 2

When fractions are divided by each other, you're really multiplying by the "multiplicative inverse". This is the fraction, but flipped.

`(8)/(10) / (1)/(5) = (8)/(10) * (5)/(1) \\\\So\\(8)/(10) * (5)/(1) = (40)/(10) = 4`
