Question

B. 1/5÷5
C. 1/5÷3
D. 1/5÷2

Answer 1

Hello!

`=================================`

Option A is correct & here's why.

When dividing fractions, we take the first fraction and multiply it times the reciprocal of the second fraction (the second fraction flopped over)

So if we have 1/4, then its reciprocal is 4/1, or just 4.

Hence, Option A (1/5÷4) is correct.
