Answer:


5/485=(5)/(485)=(1)/(97)\\\\485/ 5=(485)/(5)=97

Explanation:

When we say "a divided by b", we mean a/b. In this case, "5 divided by 485" is a 1-digit number divided by a 3-digit number. The result is the fraction 1/97 or a repeating decimal with a long repeat.

If you want to divide the 3-digit number 485 by the 1 digit number 5, then you need to formulate the problem as "485 divided by 5". The result is 97.
