Question

4/5 ÷ 8 ?


Can I get an step-by-step soultion? (if thats not too much to ask)

Answer 1

Answer: 1/10

Explanation:

Let's put our whole number and fraction side by side so we can visualize the problem we're trying to solve:

4/5÷8

All we need to do here is cross-multiplying. So 4/5 stays the same, and 8 is 8/1 but since we're cross-multiplying, it turns into 1/8.

4/5x1/8

Now you multiply across.

So, 4 x 1 = 4

5 x 8= 40

So, the answer to the question "what is 8 divided by 4/5?" is:

4/40

For this particular example, we can actually simplify or reduce down the final fraction 4/40 to a more simple version:

1/10
