To find out how many times 1/5 can make 14/10, you need to divide 14/10 by 1/5.
Dividing fractions involves multiplying the numerator of the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. The reciprocal of 1/5 is 5/1.
So, the calculation would be:
(14/10) ÷ (1/5) = (14/10) × (5/1)
To simplify, you can cancel out common factors. Both 14 and 10 can be divided by 2:
(7/5) × (5/1)
Multiplying across the numerators and denominators gives:
(7 × 5) / (5 × 1) = 35/5 = 7
Therefore, 1/5 can make 14/10 seven times.
