Answer 1

Keep change flip if not noted you should

Answer 2

1 1/5.

Explanation:

To divide a fraction by another fraction you have to change the equation like "Keep, Switch, Flip".

For the problem 24/25 ÷ 4/5,

You KEEP the first fraction as is, so 24/25

Then, you SWITCH the sign from division to multiplication.

Finally, you FLIP the second fraction upside down, (the reciprocal). So it's 5/4.

The equation is now 24/25 * 5/4, which we can just multiply the numerators and denominators. (or cross cancel first)

24 * 5 = 120

25 * 4 = 100

the fraction is 120/100. Simplified, it can be divided by 10 to make 12/10, and finally divided by 2 to make 6/5, or 1 1/5.
