Question

What is 9/4 divided by 5/8? Help me pls

Answer 1

We are given the following operation:

`((9)/(4))/((5)/(8))`

To solve this we will use the following property of rationals:

`((a)/(b))/((c)/(d))=(ad)/(bc)`

Applying the property we get:

`((9)/(4))/((5)/(8))=((9)(8))/((5)(4))`

Solving the operations:

`((9)(8))/((5)(4))=(72)/(20)`

We can simplify by dividing both sides by 4:

`((72)/(4))/((20)/(4))=(18)/(5)`

Since we can't simplify any further this is the final answer.
