1/7 divided by 2/10 with step-by-step

Answer: 5/7

Step-by-step explanation: When dividing by a fraction, we can change the division sign to multiplication and flip the second fraction.

So 1/7 : 2/10 means the same thing as 1/7 * 10/2.

So when dividing by a fraction, we can just multiply

by the reciprocal of that fraction or that fraction flipped.

Now multiply across the numerators and denominators to get 10/14.

Notice that 10/14 can be reduced to 5/7.
