Answer: 2/5

Step-by-step explanation: 1/5 divided by 2

  1. You do 1/5, then the 2 is a whole number so you have to always put a denominator under a whole number. The denominator will be 1.
  2. in this case you will do KCF or KFC KEEP, CHANGE FLIP.

1/5 you will keep

you will CHANGE the division sign to multiplication, never change when it is multiplication.

1/5 X 1/2

You will FLIP 2/1 into 1/2. Now multiply numerator x numerator, denominator x denominator.

1/5 X 1/2= 2/5

Now you have gotten your answer but for the future, the numerator should never be greater than the denominator, if it is, divide.
