Answer:

The answer is 2 6/7

Explanation:

First, you set up the problem.


(4)/(7) / (1)/(5)

Next, you change the division sign into multiplication


(4)/(7) x (1)/(5)

Then you flip the 1/5


(4)/(7) x (5)/(1) \\

Afterward, you multiply fractions straight across.


(4)/(7) x (5)/(1) =(20)/(7)

Finally, you will simplify your answer into a mixed number.


(20)/(7) = 2 6/7

Hope this helps!!
