Answer 1

`4(3)/(5)` ÷
`2(1)/(2)` =
`(46)/(25)`

To simplify the expression

`(23)/(5)`÷
`(5)/(2)`

Invert the divisor (the second fraction).

Multiply the two fractions.

`(23)/(5)`÷
`(5)/(2)`=
`(23)/(5)*(5)/(2)`

​Now, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:

`(23*2)/(5*5)`=
`(46)/(25)`

So,
`4(3)/(5)`÷
`2(1)/(2)`=
`(46)/(25)`
