Question

2 3/5 divides by 1 1/25

Answer 1

2 3/5 13/5
---------- = -----------
1 1/25 26/25

Let's multiply 13 and 5 by 5, so that 13/5 has the new denominator 25, to match the denominator in 26/25:

25

Invert the divisor and then multiply:

65 25
--- * ------- This reduces to 65/11 (answer)
25 11
