Answer:

seven ( 7 ) number of 1/5s make 14/10

Explanation:

To find the numbers of 1/5s that make 14/10, we will simply divide 14/10 by 1/5, thus;

14/10 ÷ 1/5

We can change the division into myltiplication by taking the inverse of 1/5.

Not that inverse of 1/5 is 5/1 = 5

Hence;


(14)/(10) × 5

5 can divide 10 at the denominator 2 times.

Hence ;


(14)/(2)

14 divide by 2 will give us 7.

Therefore, the number of 1/5s that make 14/10 are seven (7)
