Answer: 0.4761904762 or 10/21

Step-by-step explanation: Set up the problem so that 2/7 is divided by 3/5. This gives you
(2)/(7)/(3)/(5). Next, cross multiply to find the numerator and the denominator. So 2 x 5 = 10 and 7 x 3 = 21. This gives you 21/10. Now switch the numerator and the denominator so that they are each in the right place. This gives you 10/21. In order to find the decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator to get the decimal. This gives you the answer 0.4761904762 or ≈ 0.48

Show work:


(2)/(7)/(3)/(5)


2 *5=10


7 *31 =21


(10)/(21) = 0.4761904762

Hope this helps! Have a great day!
