Answer: Your friend is wrong because they forgot that when you divide fractions you actually multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the other fraction. So the answer is 5.

Explanation:

1/2 / 1/10

1/2 * 10/1

=10/2

=5

And for your specific question the answer would be the first choice “reciprocal of the dividend by”
