Answer:

Exact form: 5/2

Decimal form: 2.5

Mixed number form: 2 and 1/2

Explanation:

when you divide a fraction you keep, change, flip

Equation: 5/8 ÷ 1/4

keep 5/8 the same

change the divide symbol into a multipulcation symbol

flip 1/4 the other way, so it's 4/1 (it's a whole number now)

then just multiply across

Equation now: 5/8 × 4/1
