Answer:

5 2/5 ÷ 2 1/3 = 81/35 or 2.31

Explanation:

Let's simplify the problem:

5 2/5 = 25/5 + 2/5 = 27/5

2 1/3 = 6/3 + 1/3 = 7/3

To the calculation:


(27)/(5) ÷
(7)/(3) =
(27)/(5) ×
(3)/(7) =
(81)/(35) = 2.31

Answer

ok so you want to turn the mixed fractions to improper fractions so 5 2/5 would be 27/5 and 2 1/3 would be 7/3. Then you want to multiply by the reciprocal. 27/5 x 3/7 and then you get your answer 81/35 (but simplify it)
