1/2 divided by 2/5

In order to get the correct answer you need to flip the second fraction and then multiply it with the first fraction so it will stay like this:

1/2 x 5/2

To find the answer you need to multiply 1 x 5= 5 and 2 x 2=4 which will give you the final answer which is:

5/4 as improper fraction or it can also be 1 1/4 as mixed number, both are correct.
