Question

14/15 divided by 7/5

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

2/3

Explanation:

There are a couple of different ways that division of fractions can be done.

1) "invert and multiply"

`(14)/(15)/(7)/(5)=(14)/(15)*(5)/(7)\\\\=(14)/(7)*(5)/(15)=\boxed{(2)/(3)}`

__

2) use the numerators when the denominators are the same

`(14)/(15)/(7)/(5)=(14)/(15)/(21)/(15)\\\\=(14)/(21)=\boxed{(2)/(3)}`
