Answer:
55/15 or 2 2/3
Explanation:
First, turn 2 1/5 into an improper fraction.
2 1/5 --> 11/5
Rewrite the expression with the improper fraction.
(11/5)/(3/5)
When dividing, remember the simple rule "keep, change, flip." Keep the dividend (in this case, 11/5) the same. Change the function from division to multiplication. Swap the divisor's (in this case, 3/5's) numerator and denominator. Rewrite the expression.
(11/5)*(5/3)
To multiply fractions, multiply "straight across:" multiply the numerators (11 and 5) and the denominators (5 and 3). Then make the product of the numerators the numerator of the new fraction, and the product of the denominators the denominator of the new fraction.
(11/5)*(5/3)=55/15
The answer as an improper fraction is 55/15.
The answer as a (simplified) mixed number is 3 2/3.
