Question

Which is not a step in solving this problem?1/2^5A. Multiply 1 by 5.B. Change the operation,C. Multiply 5 by 2.D. Find the reciprocal of the divisor.

Answer 1

Given data:

The given question is:

`(1)/(2)\text{ }*(1)/(5)`

Now, first we will change the opeation instead of dividing one and a half by 5 we will write it as

`(1)/(2)*(1)/(5)`

Now we will multiply 5 by 2

`(1)/(10)`

And then the answer is 0.1 which is the reciprocal of 10 (i.e. divisor in this case).

So, part A is not a step in solving this problem.
