Math Problem Statement

4/5 ÷ 2/3 =

Solution

To solve 45÷23\frac{4}{5} \div \frac{2}{3}, we can follow these steps:

Step 1: Invert the second fraction (reciprocal)

Instead of dividing by 23\frac{2}{3}, multiply by its reciprocal, 32\frac{3}{2}.

45÷23=45×32\frac{4}{5} \div \frac{2}{3} = \frac{4}{5} \times \frac{3}{2}

Step 2: Multiply the fractions

Multiply the numerators and the denominators:

4×35×2=1210\frac{4 \times 3}{5 \times 2} = \frac{12}{10}

Step 3: Simplify the fraction

Now, simplify 1210\frac{12}{10}:

1210=65\frac{12}{10} = \frac{6}{5}

So, the result is 65\frac{6}{5}, or in mixed number form, 1151 \frac{1}{5}.
