Question

1Ellen says that 1 2/5 equals 5 ÷7 Is she
correct? Explain.​

Answer 1

She isn't correct.

Explanation:

If you think about it, 5÷7 is the same thing as
`\frac{5}7}`.
`(5)/(7)` does not equal 1 2/5, since 1 2/5 is a mixed number. Hope that helped!

Answer 2

No she is not because 1 2/5 is a bigger number than 5/7.

1 2/5 in decimal form is 1.4, and 5/7 in decimal form is .714.
