Answer:
40/9
Explanation:
Make 1 and 4/5 an improper fraction to make it easier,
Finding the numerator to make the improper fraction:
5 of 1/5 parts make up 1 whole, so 5*1/5 = 5/5, 5 plus 4/5 of a whole: 5/5 + 4/5 = 9/5.
Now, make 8 a fraction by dividing it by 1 to make it simpler.
8/1
Put it into a division problem:
8/1 ÷ 9/5
To solve a division problem between two fractions, find the reciprocal of the fraction you are dividing by with, then multiply them together.
To find the reciprocal, just flip the fraction upside down.
Let's do this step by step,
Find the reciprocal:
8/1 ÷ 5/9
Multiply them together:
8/1 · 5/9
And solve:
8(5)/1(9)
= 40/9 which can't simplify further is already in lowest terms.
