Question

What is 2/5÷2?

A.) 1/5

B.) 2/5

C.) 4/5

D.) 5

Answer 1

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)`

Answer 2

A. 1/5

Explanation:

`(2)/(5)` ÷
`(2)/(1)` =
`(2)/(5)` times
`(1)/(2)`

=
`(2)/(10)`

=
`(1)/(5)`

hope this helps!
