Question

5/8 divided by 8 3/10 = ? (In a fraction)

Answer 1

25/332

Step-by-step explanation:

We first write

`(5)/(8)/(8+(3)/(10))`

Let us convert the fraction on the right to an improper fraction

`8+(3)/(10)=(83)/(10)`

and the division becomes

`(5)/(8)/(83)/(10)`

taking the reciprocal of the fraction on the right turns the above into multiplication

`(5)/(8)*(10)/(83)`

which simplifies to

`(5\cdot10)/(8\cdot83)`
`=(50)/(664)`
`=(50/2)/(664/2)`
`=(25)/(332)`

which is our answer!
