Question

What is 3/5 divide by 4/2

Answer 1

`\sf Steps`

↝ Multiply

↝ Simplify if needed

________________

`\sf Part` I

`(3 * 2)/(5 * 4) = (6)/(20)`

________________

`\sf Part` II

`(6)/(20) / (2)/(2) = (3)/(10)`

________________

`\sf Part` III

⋆ As we know, 6-twentieths cannot be simplified any further because 3 cannot be simplified by another odd number. With this, we come to a conclusion.

`\boxed {(\sf 3)/(\sf 10)}`

Answer 2

Answer:
`3/10`

Explanation:

`((3)/(5)): ((4)/(2)) = (3)/(10) = 0.3`

Divide: 3/5 : 4/2 = 3/5 · 2/4 = 3 · 2/5 · 4 = 6/20 = 2 · 3/2 · 10 = 3/10

Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal value of the second fraction. The first sub-step is to find the reciprocal (reverse the numerator and denominator, reciprocal of
`(4)/(2)` is
`(2)/(4)`) of the second fraction.

Next, multiply the two numerators. Then, multiply the two denominators. In the following intermediate step, cancel by a common factor of 2 gives 3/10.

In other words - three-fifths divided by four halves = three tenths.

`3/10=0.3`

`3/40=0.07500`

`Divide`
`3/40 ~ by ~ 2`
`=0.3`
