Answer: A.) 1/5

Explanation:

When dividing a fraction with a whole number we have to turn that whole number into a fraction as well


(2)/(5) ÷
(2)/(1)

So now we use the dividing fraction formula:
(a)/(b) ÷
(c)/(d) =
(a*d)/(b*c)

So we put the numbers in their places:
(2)/(5) ÷
(2)/(1) =
(2*1)/(5*2) =
(2)/(10)

However
(2)/(10) simplified is
(1)/(5)
