Solution

- To divide by a fraction, you simply invert the fraction and instead multiply by the inverted fraction.

- Thus, we have:


\begin{gathered} \text{ 5 divided by }(1)/(10): \\ \\ 5/(1)/(10)=5*(10)/(1)=50 \\ \\ \text{ } \\ \text{ 5 divided by }(3)/(10): \\ \\ 5/(3)/(10)=5*(10)/(3)=(50)/(3) \\ \\ \\ \\ \text{ 5 divided by }(9)/(10): \\ \\ 5/(9)/(10)=5*(10)/(9)=(50)/(9) \end{gathered}
