Hello!

Let's do this division below:


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

First, let's rewrite it:


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

To calculate a division between two fractions, we have to modify the second fraction:

Let's keep the first and multiply it by the inverse of the second.

So, we have:


(2)/(5)\cdot(7)/(3)

Now, we just need to multiply straight:


(2)/(5)\cdot(7)/(3)=(14)/(15)

The statement is true.
