To divide two fractions, we multiply the dividend (numerator) of the first fraction by the divisor (denominator) of the second fraction and the divisor (denominator) of the first fraction by the dividend (numerator) of the second fraction. In other words, we multiply the two fractions by the reciprocal (invert) of the second fraction. The given expression is: 7/10 ÷ 1/2 Reciprocal of 1/2 is 2/1. So, 7/10 ÷ 1/2 = 7/10 × 2/1 On multiplying, we get, 7/10 × 2/1 = 14/10 On simplification, we get, 1 4/10 = 7/5 So, 7/10 ÷ 1/2 = 7/5 or 1.4 (approximate value when converted to decimal) I hope it helps.

Answer:

To divide 7/10 by 1/2, you need to multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction, and the denominator of the first fraction by the numerator of the second fraction. This gives you:

(7/10) ÷ (1/2) = (7/10) x (2/1) = 14/10 = 7/5

Therefore, 7/10 divided by 1/2 is equal to 7/5.
